Subcutaneous tissue

The subcutaneous tissue, also known as the hypodermis or superficial fascia, is the layer of tissue that underlies the skin. The terms originate from subcutaneous in Latin and hypoderm in Greek, both of which mean “beneath the skin,” as it is the deepest layer that rests just above the deep fascia.

Comprehensive list of human skin conditions and diseases of the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue that make up the skin

Subcutaneous tissue is the deepest layer of your skin. It’s made up mostly of fat cells and connective tissue. Learn about its purpose and medical conditions that affect it.

Your dermis is the middle layer of skin in your body. It contains two different layers, and it helps support your epidermis, among other functions.

Subcutaneous (SC, SQ) injection the technique to deliver or administered medication into the fatty tissue of the subcutaneous tissue, located below the dermis and epidermis layer of skin.

The hypodermis (subcutaneous tissue or superficial fascia) refers to the layer beneath the skin. This layer is predominantly composed of adipose tissue that functions in energy storage, thermal insulation, and protection by providing cushioning. Hypodermic injection refers to injections into this area which is favorable because of its high vascularization (nervous structures shown in the diagram). Liposuction removes adipose tissue from this layer.

Info: Understanding Cellulitis and Acute Lymphangitis of the Face Cellulitis and acute lymphangitis are two skin infections that can occur on the face. These conditions are often confused with each other, but they have different causes and symptoms

To understand how moisturisers work, we need to first understand our skin. Our skin has primarily three layers: Epidemis, Dermis, Hypodermis. The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin. It acts as a barrier, protecting the inner layers of the skin from environmental stressors such as pollution, dust, UV rays. The dermis is the middle layer of the skin. It contains nerves, blood vessels, hair shafts, sweat and sebaceous glands The hypodermis comes after the epidermis and the dermis.
