As our understanding of the role of ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure in causing skin cancer continues to be enhanced, it is important that clinicians and researchers are familiar with the various methods for assessing photodamage to skin. This paper provides a systematic review of the published literature on invasive and non-invasive methods used to quantify lifetime UV exposure (‘photoageing’). Clinical examination, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, skin surface topography and ultrasound, in addition to newer technologies such as reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and multiphoton tomography (MPT), were reviewed. It ...
