TABLE 2.

Collagen mean fragmentation index calculated using ConfoScan^(R), to compare quality of collagen in treated vs. untreated skin biopsies. N = 7 random images for each group

The bold values in table 2 correspond to calculated mean values that reflect fragmentation index (collagen organization before and after treatment).
