Skin aging and photoaging

B A Gilchrest. Dermatol Nurs. 1990 Apr.

Abstract

Multiple surveys suggest that at least two-thirds of the elderly have complaints regarding their skin and that a similar percentage have one or more medically significant dermatologic disorders. Appreciation of the age-associated changes in normal skin and of the separate process of photoaging allows more effective patient counselling and treatment.
