SKIN CHARACTERISTIC MEASURING APPARATUS, SKIN CHARACTERISTIC MEASURING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To measure the surface elasticity and the inner hardness of the skin surface at the same time and at the same region. SOLUTION: The skin characteristic measuring apparatus 1 includes: a probe 20 to which vibration of a prescribed frequency is applied; an oscillation circuit 23 for measuring the change of the frequency of the probe 20 when the probe 20 is brought into contact with the skin surface of a subject; a strain indicator 24 for measuring the reactive force received from the skin surface when the probe 20 is pressed on the skin surface of the subject with prescribed pressure; and a skin characteristic measuring part 30 for measuring the characteristics of the skin surface based on the result of measurement by the oscillation circuit 23 and the strain indicator 24.
