    GlossarySkin Thickness

    measurement of skin depth, varying across body regions

    Skin thickness refers to the measurement of the depth of the skin, which varies across different parts of the body. It consists of two main layers: the epidermis (outer layer) and the dermis (inner layer). For example, the skin on the soles of the feet is much thicker than the skin on the eyelids. Understanding skin thickness is important for medical professionals when diagnosing conditions, planning surgeries, or administering treatments like injections.
