Assessment of gender and photoageing severity for atrophic and hypertrophic phenotypes. (a) An 84-year-old man with atrophic photoageing demonstrates paucity of coarse wrinkles and presence of telangiectasia. A 72-year-old woman with hypertrophic photoageing demonstrates characteristic deep, coarse wrinkling of the cheek and minimal to absent erythema. (b) Photonumeric scales were used to assess the degree of photoageing for each participant. Each photonumeric scale ranged from 0–8, where 0 represents absence of the form of photoageing and 8 indicates severe photoageing (atrophic or hypertrophic). The relative frequency of atrophic photoageing severity was not different between males and females; whereas in hypertrophic photoageing, females had a more severe phenotype than males (b).
