Visible light and human skin pigmentation: The importance of skin phototype

3 Jun 2021

Abstract excerpt

Melanin is synthesised within melanocytes and transferred to keratinocytes in human skin, thereby regulating skin colour and protecting skin cells against UVR-induced damage. We commonly divide human skin into six phototypes (SPT)-I to -VI (Fitzpatrick scale) according to the skin's tanning response to UVR. In this pilot study, we investigated the impact of UVR (maximum 311nm), blue (peak 450nm) and green visible...
