Abstract
The characteristics of skins in different aging processes were obtained by optical coherence tomography (OCT) single scattering model, and their optical parameters were analyzed quantitatively. Significant differences were found in epidermis thickness and attenuation coefficients in chronological aging skins and photonaging skins. These parameters can be served as indicators of skin type as well as the progress of aging. These results are valuable to the study of aging skin, and they could further help to understand the mechanism of aging.Mesh:
