age related skin disorders due to structural and functional changes in the skin of the elderly may increase health care costs. as a result of an increase in the number of aging population in iran, provision of dermatology services to the elderly group due to the limitation of resources and the high cost of those services will be a challenge for the health care system. moreover, by increasing th...

conclusions reported herbal drugs might be beneficial for further studies for the management of skin aging and aging process. results skin aging begins with whole body aging process and entire body gets cold and dry in elderly. wrinkle formation is highly associated with loss of “skin natural moisture”. in the management, specific food supplements, simple massage therapy as well as herbal drugs...

skin aging is a continuous process that exhibits fine and deep wrinkles, thin and transparent skin, loss of underlying fat, dry skin and itch, following decreased collagen and elastin  synthesis. both extrinsic and intrinsic agents are considered in the pathogenesis on skin aging. extrinsic factors such as sun exposure, windy and dry weather, nutrition, and lifestyle may induce premature aging,...

Background: Skin reflects the general health status and is not an exception in the process of aging. Intervention studies indicate that it is possible to delay skin aging and improve skin conditions through diet-based anti-aging strategies. The purpose of the current work was to review recent existing literature regarding the role of nutrition, for and against skin aging processes.Method: This ...

Background: With the increase in life expectancy, middle aged and elderly people comprise a substantial percentage of the population worldwide. Since aging often manifests itself in the human skin, skin rejuvenation methods have gained a lot of popularity. Current medical modalities such as botulinum toxininjection, fillers, and laser therapy can provide symptomatic relief of skin aging s...

Skin aging does not only occur by passing time alone but also by the exposure to different environmental factors. The skin aging process, which is induced by environmental factors, is named premature or extrinsic skin aging process and can be distinguished from the chronologically (intrinsic) skin aging process by characteristic skin aging signs. Well known environmental factors leading to extr...

The skin is a physical barrier that protects our body against various environmental, chemical and agents, the main organ easily visible as time progresses. Aging dynamic, progressive undesirable biological process unfortunately cannot be stopped, according to present knowledge. Intrinsic aging (chronological, spontaneous aging) programmed natural process, while extrinsic (environmental photoagi...

The dermal-epidermal junction of human skin exhibits age-related remodelling, resulting in a flattened appearance and reduced surface area. Despite this, a paucity of information is available regarding which protein components change with advancing age. Here we report a significant reduction in the protein distribution of collagen IV (P<0.0001), collagen VII (P<0.001), collagen XVII (P<0.01), i...

For decades it has been appreciated that aging is the consequence of both genetic and environmental influences. Genetic factors are evident, e.g., in the >100-fold variation among species in the rate of aging; and recent studies of fruit flies, worms, and even mice have identified specific longevity genes whose modification can greatly alter lifespan [22]. Conversely, a role for environmental f...
