DEVICE

Optical Elastography

To image skin thickness, Optical Coherence Elastography (OCE)-scanning of 6 body surface areas will be preformed using the Phase-Stabilized Swept Source Optical Coherence Elastography (PhS-SSOCE) system.

OTHER

Visual Assessment

Skin thickness will be visually assessed clinically in 6 body surface areas using the the modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS). The mRSS uses a 0-3 scale, where 0 = normal, 1= mild thickness, 2 = moderate thickness, and 3 = severe thickness
