We report a method to image facial cutaneous microvascular perfusion using wide-field imaging photoplethysmography (iPPG) and handheld swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT). The iPPG system employs a 16-bit-depth camera to provide a 2D wide-field blood pulsation map that is then used as a positioning guidance for OCT imaging of cutaneous microvasculature. We show the results from iPPG and OCT to demonstrate the ability of guided imaging of cutaneous microvasculature, which is potentially useful for the assessment of skin conditions in dermatology and cosmetology.
