Does Hormonal Skin Aging Exist? A Study of the Influence of Different Hormone Therapy Regimens on the Skin of Postmenopausal Women Using Non-Invasive Measurement Techniques
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND DESIGN: The skin properties of 98 postmenopausal women with hormone replacement therapy (oestradiol gel or patches) or without hormone replacement therapy were studied using non-invasive techniques: skin thickness with skin echography, skin hydration with a dryness score and measurement of capacitance, skin surface lipids with a Sebumeter and microtopography with image analysis of cutaneous replicas. RESULTS: In this open study we demonstrated an increase in skin thickness and sebum in the treated group in comparison to the untreated group (7-15% according to area for skin thickness, 35% for sebum). Hydration and microtopography were not different in the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Postmenopausal women who were receiving hormonal substitution have a greater thickness and casual level than untreated women. We therefore suggest that hormonal aging exists and that cutaneous atrophy can be prevented with hormone replacement therapy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
