    Glossary Skin Fluorescence

    emission of light by skin when exposed to UV light

    Skin fluorescence refers to the emission of light by the skin when it is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. This phenomenon occurs because certain compounds in the skin, such as collagen and elastin, absorb the UV light and then re-emit it at a different wavelength, often visible as a glow. This property is used in medical diagnostics to detect skin conditions, infections, and even changes in skin health.
