description BACKGROUND: This paper presents the possibilities of pretreatment instrumental diagnosis for assessing the condition of various facial skin areas. AIM: Tests which aimed at determining the firmness and elasticity of facial skin were conducted. METHODS: Analysis of skin parameters in selected facial areas in adults over a wide age range was performed using the Cutometer Dual MPA 580 probe. Parameters R0, R2, R5, R7, R8, and R9 were analyzed. RESULTS: The following results were obtained: R0 (0.20‐0.33) mm; R2 (0.66‐0.82) a.u.; R5 (0.60‐0.92) a.u.; R7 (0.37‐0.52) a.u.; R8 (0.10‐0.27) mm; and R9 (0.03‐0.05) mm. The R0 parameter showed no statistically significant correlation between skin firmness and age. On the basis of the other parameters, it can be concluded that skin elasticity and an ability to return to its original shape around the eyes, on the cheeks and around the lips, are greater in younger patients than in older groups. There were no statistically significant differences within each age group between the right and left sides of the face. CONCLUSION: Skin firmness described by the R0 parameter is constant in the studied groups and independent of age. Skin elasticity, and an ability to return to its original shape around the eyes, on the cheeks and around the lips, is greater in younger patients. The aging process simultaneously affects the entire facial skin.
