Abstract

Wrinkling is a typical symptom of cutaneous photoaging in skin; however, mechanism of such wrinkling is still not clear. In this paper, we investigated orientation change of dermal collagen fiber in pre-wrinkled skin of ultraviolet-B-exposed (UVB-exposed) skin using polarization-resolved second-harmonic-generation (SHG) microscopy. A polarization anisotropic image of the SHG light indicated that change of collagen fiber orientation started in the pre-wrinkled skin of ultraviolet-B-exposed (UVB-exposed) mouse. Furthermore, the dominant direction of collagen fiber orientation was significantly parallel to the wrinkle direction in post-wrinkled skin of UVB-exposed mouse. This result implies that change of collagen fiber orientation is a trigger of wrinkling in photo-aged skin.
