Abstract
We present the results of an experimental study of the novel approach: Microdermabrasion, Oleic acid and UltraSound Effect (MOUSE) on the probing depth of optical coherence tomography of human skin with phototypes II and VI. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used for skin monitoring during an hour. The obtained results indicate a significant increase in the depth of OCT optical probing for both light and highly pigmented skin. The efficiency of optical clearing using this approach was 32 ± 1.8% and 20.7 ± 1.6% for skin of II and VI phototypes, respectively.
