Correlation Between Advanced Glycation End Products and Ultrasonographic Measurements of Cervico-Facial Skin Tissue
The study showed that higher levels of specific serum AGEs were associated with selected HFU-derived structural alterations in cervico-facial skin, particularly in UV-exposed dermal tissue. These exploratory findings support the biological plausibility that systemic glycation may be reflected by non-invasive skin ultrasound parameters.
