In vivo multiphoton‐microscopy of picosecond‐laser‐induced optical breakdown in human skin

Improvements in skin appearance resulting from treatment with fractionated picosecond‐lasers have been noted, but optimizing the treatment efficacy depends on a thorough understanding of the specific skin response. The development of non‐invasive laser imaging techniques in conjunction with laser therapy can potentially provide feedback for guidance and optimizing clinical outcome.
