Skin is a complex organ covering the entire surface of the body. Aged skin is characterized by appearance of wrinkles, laxity, and pigmentary irregularities. These changes occur under the influence of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, with sun exposure being the most deleterious to the skin. Skin changes associated with aging are the focus of many surgical and nonsurgical procedures aimed to improve the appearance of skin. Knowledge of skin histology and physiology will deepen the understanding of cutaneous changes associated with aging and will promote optimal cosmetic and functional patient outcomes.
皮肤是覆盖身体整个表面的复杂器官。老化的皮肤表现为出现皱纹、松弛和色素沉着异常。这些变化是在内在和外在因素的影响下发生的,其中阳光照射对皮肤的危害最大。与衰老相关的皮肤变化是许多旨在改善皮肤外观的手术和非手术程序的重点。了解皮肤组织学和生理学将加深对与衰老相关的皮肤变化的理解,并将促进患者获得最佳的美容和功能效果。
