Abstract :
We have shown the prospect of development of a contactless diagnostics method for pathological skin and cornea in the terahertz frequency range. We observed stimulation of the nerve cells growth by low-intensity terahertz radiation. There is a possibility that specific terahertz radiation parameters would allow expectation of acceleration of skin and cornea regeneration in vivo.
