January 2016 in “Burns & Trauma” Vacuum massage may improve skin elasticity and induce changes in skin cells, but evidence for treating burn scars is insufficient and more research is needed.
9 citations,
February 2021 in “Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology” Older mice have stiffer skin with less elasticity due to changes in collagen and skin structure, affecting aging and hair loss.
2 citations,
