Resume: The objective of ERASMUS project was further development and testing the new noninvasive diagnostics method of human skin under variable mechanical loading in-vivo. The method is based on monitoring instantaneous changes of ultrasound propagation along the skin. It opens a new insight on the viscoelastic behavior of human skin, useful in dermatology and cosmetics.
