Observational analysis shows increased damage in skin due to photoaging and chronic sun exposure, highlighting the importance of healthy aging.
Aging represents the progressive deterioration of physiological integrity. This natural process leads to atrophy, decreased elasticity, and impaired metabolic and reparative responses in the skin. There is an increasing emphasis on “healthy aging.” Chronic sun exposure leads to recurrent damage caused by the sun’s ultraviolet light, known as photoaging. Environmental factors, in addition to sun exposure, also play a role in photoaging. Numerous studies have confirmed the role of cigarette smoke in accelerating skin aging. There are treatment options available for both types of aging.
