Evaluating the Effects of Different Skin Products on the in vivo THz Response of Skin

Terahertz (THz) imaging is the focus of research regarding a growing number of biomedical applications. In this study the ability of in vivo THz measurements to distinguish the different effects of three commercial skin products composed of water, oil and a water-oil emulsion is investigated. It can be seen that some samples are received in a uniform way by many skin types while others show a broad range of responses.
