    Infrared thermography (IRT) allows the acquisition of a thermal profile of an anatomical region of interest from a physiological perspective. For a real-time, dynamic and physiological analysis of the microcirculation, IRT is now being employed to analyze skin temperature based on the infrared radiation emitted by the human body, and may be used as an adjuvant in the diagnosis of disease and to monitor therapeutic procedures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of age, sex, ethnicity and body mass index (BMI) on temperature in the facial macro and microregions of healthy subjects.
