Paper Abstract
Polarization-resolved second-harmonic-generation (SHG) microscopy is useful for assessment of collagen fiber
orientation in tissues. In this paper, we investigated the relation between wrinkle direction and collagen orientation in
ultraviolet-B-exposed (UVB-exposed) skin using polarization-resolved SHG microscopy. A polarization anisotropic
image of the SHG light indicated that wrinkle direction in UVB-exposed skin is predominantly parallel to the orientation
of dermal collagen fibers whereas no-UVB-exposed skin was dominated by collagen orientation parallel to the meridian
line of body. The method proposed has the potential to become a powerful non-invasive tool for assessment of cutaneous
photoaging.
