Advanced Photo Damaged and Aging Skin Course from CAADEST

The harsh reality is that our prime physical condition lasts only about ten good years, usually from 17 until 27; by the age 30 people begin to notice disturbing changes. Photo damaged or sun damaged skin is something few escape. It occurs with exposure to sunlight (UVA or UVB) whether or not we intentionally suntan. Twenty-five percent of our lifetime exposure occurs before the end of our teenage years.

1. Photo damage to skin manifests in a variety of ways including:

2. advanced aging or wrinkling;

3. uneven or "pebbly" skin;

4. irregular pigmentation;

5. small blood vessels or red markings (telangiectasia);

6. rough or scaly patches (actinic keratosis);

7. freckles (epilates);

8. "liver spots" and "age spots" (lentiginous);

9. thinned or fragile skin;

10. pre skin cancers;

11. skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma).

Aging is a topic that can be extremely expansive and complex.
