Aging skin: causes, treatments, and prevention

Paula E Bermann. Nurs Clin North Am. 2007 Sep.

Abstract

Intrinsic and extrinsic aging of the skin follow different pathways, but the end result is similar. Treatment options include cosmeceuticals, laser rejuvenation, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion. Preventing the effects of extrinsic aging involves using sunscreen-the right product, used in the right amount, at the right time, in the right places.
