Envejecimiento cutáneocausas y tratamiento

Resum

Aging in general, and cutaneous in particular, is a deleterious and universal process, which nevertheless admits individual differences depending on the causes that act on the process. There is no single cause, with different theories being accepted, such as non-stochastic (non-random) theories such as genetics, including replicative senescence and gerontogenes, and stochastic (random) theories that refer to cumulative environmental damage through oxidation and glycation produced by tobacco, sun, pollution and other factors including hormone factor. Prevention is based on a healthy diet, physical exerciseand avoidance of environmental factors such as tobacco and the sun by photoprotection. The treatment includes hormone replacement therapy, cosmetics and cosmeceuticals, interventional techniques to be practiced in consultation (mesotherapy, implants or fillers, botulinum toxin, chemical peeling, laser and tensioning threads), and cosmetic surgery.
