We introduce a “mini-phototest” concept, which reduces the skin area exposed to UV light by 20-folds for skin MED (minimal erythema dose) determination. This significantly minimizes cosmetic effects compared to conventional phototest. We validated this concept by Monte-Carlo simulation, and also studied cellular response induced by mini-size UV exposure using in vivo multimodality microscopy. This novel phototest method may enable site specific light dosimetry, facilitating personalized precision phototherapy.
