Objective wrinkle grading
scales have been described for Caucasians and Japanese, but none for South-east
Asians. Southeast Asians tend to be darker in skin complexion (usually skin
types IV and above). A wrinkle scale using fairer Caucasian and Japanese skin,
may not be easily applicable for the darker Southeast Asian skin. Therefore, in
this paper, we describe and validate a wrinkle grading scale for Southeast
Asians.
