"These high resolution cameras allow for 3D reconstruction of any wrinkles so that they can be mapped for their key characteristics of width and severity. The severity score is a calculation of the depth and length of a wrinkle," said Raja Sivamani, Associate Professor of Clinical Dermatology at UC Davis, and lead researcher on the study.
Skin barrier function was also assessed, by measuring sebum production and transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Skin barrier function examines the strength of the skin barrier and how well it protects skin from moisture loss (TEWL) and from harmful irritants coming from the environment.
By the end of the study at 16 weeks, photographic image analysis showed statistically significant improvements for participants in the almond snack group compared to the control group, the researchers said. They found that wrinkle width decreased by 10 per cent while wrinkle severity reduced by nine per cent. There were no significant changes in skin barrier function between groups, the researchers said.
