           "Aging is a process of progressive decreases in the maximal functioning

            and   reserve  capacity  of all organs  in  the body ,  including the skin.. If

            any  of  that damage can be repaired,  the  result  is  rejuvenation."

​

Skin aging is part of the slow decline in appearance and function that appears to be attributed

in large part to the drastic decline of hormones in the body after adulthood. Skin ageing has two components. One is the intrinsic ageing. It is a universal, presumably inevitable change attributable to the passage of time alone. Next is photoageing. It is the superposition on intrinsic ageing changes attributable to chronic sun exposure, which are neither universal nor inevitable. This latter ageing is visible as

• sun spots

• wrinkles – fine lines, deep furrows

•  laxity

• Dryness (roughness)

•  large pores

• Mottled pigmentation

• comedones

• Actinic keratoses

• Telangiectasia

• Seborrheic keratoses

​

There are a myriad of therapeutic modalities that can improve the components of photoaging. These modalities may be divided into topical agents and procedural agents. Topical agents include retinoids, hydroquinones, and combination therapies. Procedural agents for the treatment of photoaged skin include medical skin peels,
Diamond Facial, microneedling, radio frequency, lasers, intense pulse light..
