Abstract
A method for the measurement and analysis of skin fluorescence across multiple subjects. The method includes illuminating each subject with an excitation wavelength, detecting a peak fluorescence level within a corresponding emission wavelength range, determining relative levels of skin glycation for each subject, and evaluating the efficacy of a skin treatment based on the relative levels of skin glycation. The method can include ranking and normalizing the peak fluorescence levels for each subject, and the method is suitable for use in placebo-controlled studies of anti-glycation skin therapies.
