Popis: Background. A dynamic cross-layer visualisation of skin, its vascular structure in various anatomical facets during treatment in different age cohorts holds both scientific and practical value.Objectives. A semiotic study of skin, facial, neck and hand soft tissues using high-resolution ultrasound in women of different age cohorts.Methods. A total of 63 women aged between 22 and 59 years were enrolled. The study was designed with two comparison cohorts. The inclusion criteria were: women aged 22-59 years with no evident somatic or acute dermatological pathology not having aesthetic procedures for at least one month prior to the ultrasound examination of skin, facial, neck and hand soft tissues. The cohorts separated by age. Cohort 1 included 32 women aged 22-44 years (young), and cohort 2 — 31 women aged 45-59 years (middle-aged). High-resolution ultrasound (US) was performed in B-mode, colour Doppler and microV imaging.Results. A maximal dermal thickness was facial middle-third in both cohorts, averaging to 1.87 ± 0.35 mm in the young and 1.57 ± 0.23 — in middle-aged cohort (p
