Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of ultraviolet-B-induced wrinkle formation by an elastase-inhibiting herbal extract: implication for the mechanism underlying elastase-associated wrinkles
Kazue Tsukahara,Hidemi Nakagawa,Shigeru Moriwaki,Yoshinori Takema,Tsutomu Fujimura,Genji Imokawa +5 more
TL;DR: This work has shown that fibroblast‐derived elastase plays an essential role in the increased three‐dimensional tortuosity of elastic fibers, contributing to the loss of skin elasticity in UV‐B‐exposed skin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective Inhibition of Skin Fibroblast Elastase Elicits a Concentration-Dependent Prevention of Ultraviolet B-Induced Wrinkle Formation
Kazue Tsukahara,Yoshinori Takema,Shigeru Moriwaki,Naoko Tsuji,Suzuki Yasuto,Tsutomu Fujimura,Genji Imokawa +6 more
TL;DR: Skin fibroblast elastase plays an essential part in the degeneration and/or tortuosity of elastic fibers induced by cumulative ultraviolet B irradiation, and its biologic role in wrinkle formation is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of age-related changes in facial wrinkles and sagging in the skin of Japanese, Chinese and Thai women
Kazue Tsukahara,Keiichi Sugata,Osamu Osanai,Atsushi Ohuchi,Yuki Miyauchi,Minoru Takizawa,Mitsuyuki Hotta,Takashi Kitahara +7 more
TL;DR: The authors' scaling method proved to be appropriate for facial wrinkles, but required modification to compare cheek sagging among Asian populations, suggesting the diversity of Asian skin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dermal fluid translocation is an important determinant of the diurnal variation in human skin thickness.
TL;DR: This work has shown that trasonography can be used as a non‐invasive approach to measure skin thickness but there have been no studies on diurnal variations in skin thickness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of age-related changes in wrinkling and sagging of the skin in Caucasian females and in Japanese females
Kazue Tsukahara,Tsutomu Fujimura,Yasuko Yoshida,Takashi Kitahara,Mitsuyuki Hotta,Shigeru Moriwaki,Pamela S Witt,F Anthony Simion,Yoshinori Takema +8 more
TL;DR: Caucasian females showed marked age-related wrinkle formation in the lower areas of the face, probably due to sagged in the subzygomatic area, which suggests a higher susceptibility to sagging in theSubzyGomatic area of Caucasian females.
