Abstract: 【Abstract】 Multi-photon microscopy has been used for skin tissue imaging based on the principle that endogenous fluorescent components in specific skin tissues or exogenous fluorescence-labeled substances could emit fluorescence under different excitation wavelengths of near-infrared lasers. It is an effective imaging technique for the auxiliary diagnosis of skin neoplasms, inflammatory skin diseases, wound healing and skin aging, with the advantages of in vivo, non-invasive and accurate three-dimensional skin imaging. This review summarizes the application of and progress in multi-photon microscopy in clinical practice in dermatology.
