Introduction
Aging of the skin is the combined result of both intrinsic factors and extrinsic (external) influences from the environment. Intrinsic aging is the role played by genetics in relation to chronologic age. The intrinsic processes include alteration of skeletal mass and proportion, atrophy and redistribution of subcutaneous fat, increased laxity of underlying fascia and musculature, and skin changes characterized by thinning and atrophy. Most intrinsic factors cannot be prevented, but rejuvenative changes can be made with cosmoceutical agents and resurfacing procedures.
Extrinsic factors are preventable environmental influences leading to premature aging of the skin, including ultraviolet (UV) exposure, smoking, chemicals, and gravity. UV exposure is the primary environmental factor, preferentially affecting those with a lighter skin color. The mechanism includes the production of UV-induced oxygen free radicals, which have been shown to invite a cascade of molecular events leading to the production of collagen-degrading enzymes. This creates the characteristic features of photoaging, including rough texture, atrophy, fine and coarse wrinkles, sa
