Vivier Hyperpigmentation skin care program

What is aging skin?

The two most commonly encountered determinants of aging are 1) chronological aging, which is the natural progression of genetic determinants, and 2) photoaging, which is the result of exposure to solar radiation. Other environmental conditions such as exposure to wind and cold can also have effects on skin condition over time.

Sun exposure (ultraviolet radiation, UVR) is by far the most influential environmental factor affecting skin aging. Many changes associated with chronological aging are accelerated by ultraviolet radiation, such as collagen and elastin degradation. Sun effects on the epidermis actually cause irregular thickening rather than thinning, which is expected with chronological aging. Melanocytes proliferate, and melanin production increases as the skin “tans” to defend itself against the effects of radiation. In older individuals, exposure to UVR induces discrete areas of melanocyte proliferation, appearing externally as “age spots”, also called solar lentigines. Tiny surface capillaries dilate, becoming visible as reddened spots, are referred to as Telangiectasis. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation drastically increases the risk of skin cancers.

The typical external characteristics of aging skin are:

Fine wrinkles (loss of collagen and elastin)
Sagging, thinner skin (loss of adipose tissue in the subcutis as well as dermal changes)
Deepened lines and expression
Dry skin (reduced keratinocyte turnover and sebum production)
Age spots (sun exposure)
