Topography of the skin surface is a mirror of the functional skin status. Surface roughness is an important criterion for assessing the health status of the skin. Changes in roughness occur, among other things, in the case of congenital keratinization … Continue reading
Using scientific advances that have recently emerged from the Human Genome Project, skin scientists are beginning to gain a deeper understanding of the genes involved in the skin aging process. Gene chip technology can measure the signals sent out by … Continue reading
Many of facial skin aging changes are not the inevitable result of chronologic aging, but with the accumulation of chronic environmental factors. The structural (molecular, cellular), histological changes and the clinical signs associated with intrinsic (chronological aging) and photoaging are … Continue reading
The complex group of facial muscles are related to the facial lines that are caused by the contraction of and/or the repeated movement of facial muscles. Combined with the aging factors which result in the loss of skin elasticity and … Continue reading
A wrinkle is a fold, ridge or crease in the skin. Different intrinsic and external factors cause the development of a wrinkle. Biochemical and histological studies has revealed the pathogenesis of wrinkles. Significant biochemical changes contributed to the formation of … Continue reading
The chronological skin aging is driven by the genetic programming – the programmed aging process that also makes the hair white and makes the teeth fall -. When the natural aging process is superimposed with photodamage, the skin ages much … Continue reading
If we lived in a fair world dark circles would be a punishment for stopping out too late and partying into the early hours. But life just isn’t like that – no matter how much of an early to bed … Continue reading
