A new portable non-invasive prototype device for skin autofluorescence photobleaching measurements under a 532 nm laser excitation has been developed and clinically tested. The details of the equipment are described along with some measurement results illustrating the potentiality of the technology. Overall, 51 malformations of human skin were investigated by the device.
