Elasticity: measuring your skin’s bounce-back
We record how quickly your skin returns to its original shape after gentle deformation. It’s a sensitive marker of collagen/elastin quality and responds well to targeted treatments and skincare.

How we measure
We combine a gentle suction/indentation reading with standardised imaging. Readings are taken at set facial points to ensure apples-to-apples comparisons across visits.
- Consistent lighting and positioning
- Device calibration before each session
- Multiple readings averaged for reliability
What your score means
Higher E-scores indicate better elastic recoil. We contextualise your result by age band and skin type, then map it to a plan (home care + in-clinic options). Typical re-test interval: 6–12 weeks.
