Diagnosis required by a licensed medical professional

Aging Skin is a natural part of life, affecting all areas of the body with visible signs like wrinkles, loss of volume, and changes in skin tone and texture. Both natural aging processes and external factors, especially sun exposure, contribute to these changes.  

As we age, collagen decreases and sun damage accumulates, leading to folds, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. These signs can start as early as the 30s, with dynamic wrinkles and texture changes being early indicators, progressing to more permanent wrinkles and volume loss over time. While aging affects everyone, those with darker skin may notice wrinkles later due to better natural UV resistance.  ... More

signs + symptoms of aging skin

Early identification and management of Aging Skin are important for maintaining skin health and enhancing overall appearance. At Revelus Dermatology, we are committed to providing essential information on Aging Skin to facilitate prevention and effective intervention. 

key characteristics:

  • Appearance: Aging Skin is characterized by wrinkles, loss of volume, and changes in tone and texture. Wrinkles may appear as fine lines or deep creases, while volume loss gives the skin a less plump, more hollow look. Changes in tone can include dark spots or uneven skin coloring, and texture changes might make the skin appear rough or leathery. 
  • Location: Aging Skin can occur on all parts of the body but is most noticeable in sun-exposed areas such as the face, neck, hands, and arms. These areas show signs of aging more prominently due to direct UV light exposure. 
  • Sensation: Aging Skin may not have a distinct sensation, but it can feel drier and less elastic. Some individuals might experience sensitivity or discomfort in areas with significant sun damage or where the skin has thinned. 
  • Evolution: The aging process of the skin is influenced by both intrinsic factors (like genetics and natural biological processes) and extrinsic factors (such as sun exposure, pollution, and lifestyle choices). Signs of aging usually begin to appear in the 30s but can start earlier. Over time, the skin may develop more pronounced wrinkles, increased volume loss, and more noticeable changes in tone and texture.
