Mechanical pressure to reduce skin attenuation coefficient for infrared light

Abstract

Phototherapies often require efficient light penetration into the skin. Using OCT, we found that gentle mechanical pressures of a few kilopascals, exerted by the light source on the skin, reduce dermis attenuation for IR light.
