GlossaryReflectance Confocal Microscopy

non-invasive imaging technique for detailed skin layer visualization

Reflectance Confocal Microscopy (RCM) is a non-invasive imaging technique that allows for the detailed visualization of skin layers in real-time. It uses a laser to illuminate the skin and captures the reflected light to create high-resolution images, making it particularly useful for diagnosing skin conditions, including alopecia, without the need for a biopsy.
