Abstract
Synopsis In this study the 'skin surface profile'(SSP) technique and its applications are described. With this technique the SSP is replicated by means of silicone impression materials. The SSP preparations were studied by a stereomicroscope or microscopic projector. Some applications of SSP technique are as follows: a. measurement of the stratum corneum hydration, b. study of the profile of primary crests and lines, c. measurement of the primary crests reservoir available for extension, and d. estimation of the true area of the skin surface in a body region.
