title: Photonanodermatology: the interface of photobiology, dermatology and nanotechnology.
abstract: This review focuses on the optical properties of matter on the nanoscale and discusses some of their potential applications in dermatology. The applications will be divided into three main categories: those with consumer potential; those with diagnostic potential; and those with therapeutic potential.
