Aging Skin

Compiling the information that has emerged from the increase in knowledge on skin ageing made available through techniques that quantitatively determine the skin's condition using in vivo, noninvasive procedures, this reference presents current diagnostic methods and results of studies on the changes of cutaneous properties during ageing. Offering in-depth reviews, this book covers such topics as - the mechanical vasculature and vasoreactivity, physical and biochemical surface properties; permeability and barrier function; and perspiration capacity and sebaceous secretion.
