MRNA-based skin evaluation method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of skin evaluation, in particular to a skin evaluation method based on mRNA.
Background
In the field of modern medical cosmetology, accurate assessment of skin condition is critical to achieving effective skin management and treatment; with the aging, skin aging is a general concern, but how to accurately and objectively evaluate the skin aging degree is still a challenge, and conventional skin evaluation methods mainly depend on subjective judgment of dermatologists or morphological analysis based on optical imaging technology, and although these methods provide a certain degree of skin condition information, they often lack enough molecular level information, so that it is difficult to comprehensively reflect the real health condition of skin.
In recent years, with the development of molecular biology technology, particularly the breakthrough of mRNA technology, a new view angle is provided for the molecular mechanism research of skin aging; mRNA is taken as an intermediate product of gene expression, and the change of the expression level of the mRNA in cells can reflect the biological state and the functional change of the cells; thus, an mRNA-based skin evaluation method is expected to provide a new, more accurate skin aging evaluation means.
However, prior art mRNA-based skin evaluations also suffer from the following disadvantages:
The skin aging degree is evaluated by mRNA alone, the skin state cannot be comprehensively reflected, the mRNA expression data and physiological parameters of the target person cannot be comprehensively analyzed, and the gender and age information of the target person are comprehensively considered in the process, so that an all-around skin evaluation result is provided;
When skin evaluation is performed on a target person, the change trend of the skin aging state of the target person along with time cannot be tracked through historical tracing and time sequence analysis, and only single skin aging evaluation is often considered, so that lack of depth and pertinence are evaluated.
For this reason, a skin evaluation method based on mRNA is proposed.
