In vivo measurement of human dermis by 1064 nm‐excited fiber Raman spectroscopy

Background/aims: Although chemical information on the dermis in vivo is highly important in skin research, an efficient method for gathering this information is yet to be developed. Here, we demonstrate that newly developed near‐infrared (1064 nm) excited Raman spectroscopy is a powerful method for chemical analysis of human skin in vivo.
