what is the deepest layer of skin called
Skin is composed of three layers: the epidermis (the outermost layer of skin -- about the thickness of a piece of paper), the dermis (the middle layer) and the subcutaneous layer (the deepest layer).The thickness of the dermis varies depending on the location.he lower layer of the skin is called the dermis. This is the structural layer, the leather of the skin. It holds you together. The dermis is made up mostly of collagen and about 4% elastin fibers. Collagen provides the strength of the skin, while elastin allows it to stretch and snap back.
