New atlas maps how skin ages using 3D collagen scans
NCT ID NCT07409675
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to create a visual guide to skin aging by taking detailed 3D images of collagen in the skin of 250 healthy women aged 20 to 75. Using a special camera called LC-OCT, researchers measured collagen density and structure without any needles or surgery. No treatments or products were tested—the goal was simply to better understand how skin ages naturally.
