|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 93–98% | 92–93% | 92–96% |
| Epidermis 100 μm | 95% (84–97%) | 85% (84–86%) | 93% (92–96%) |
| Dermis 2 mm | 98% (93–99%) | 92% (92–93%) | 93% (92–96%) |
| Dermis 4 mm | 99% (93–99%) | 92% (92–93%) | 93% (92–96%) |
| Adipose 4 mm | 97% (93–98%) | 92% (92–93%) | 89% (88–96%) |
| Adipose 12 mm | 97% (93–98%) | 92% (92–93%) | 88% (88–96%) |
