Dynamic Optical Coherence Tomography(D-OCT) Aging Study: A Preliminary Evaluation of Structural Differences Between Young and Aged Skin, Cellulite and Atrophic Acne Scars in Female Caucasian Subjects With Fitzpatrick Skin Types I-III Utilizing Non-invasive in Vivo D-OCT.
Completed
Conditions studied: Skin Care
In brief
This single-center clinical study is being conducted over the course of 2 weeks to conduct an exploratory pilot study as a preliminary evaluation of D-OCT's ability to measure skin changes from aging. Assess structural differences between young and aged skin on the face. To identify the structural characteristics of atrophic acne scars relative to normal skin on the face. To explore characteristics of cellulite relative to normal skin on the thigh in young and aged skin.
