APPARATUS FOR MEASURING THE SKIN ELASTICITY AND THE METHOD THEREWITH

摘要

PURPOSE: An apparatus for measuring the skin elasticity and a method thereof are provided to measure the skin elasticity accurately and utilize the measured result as the basic data for determining the Sasang constitution. CONSTITUTION: An apparatus for measuring the skin elasticity includes a pressure vessel(10), a distance detection means(20), a pressure varying means(30), a measurement means(40) and a control means(50). The pressure vessel has an opening(11) which comes in contact with the skin as having opened one side. The distance detection means is installed inside the pressure vessel. The pressure varying means varies the pressure inside the pressure vessel. The measurement means measures the change of distance detected by the distance detection means according to the change of inner pressure.
