About this Item

Photoaging results from chronic exposure to UV radiation and is an increasingly common clinical feature, with an aging population the clinical burden is likely to increase despite advances in our understanding of the pathology and development of improved treatments. This book will present and review the latest progress from the forefront of translational research in cutaneous photoaging. The core chapters focus on the current understanding of the biochemical mechanisms of photoageing and lead on to aspects of photoprotection and photomedicine to provide a complete picture of the current field and a context for the importance of the basic mechanistic understanding. With a global team of authors Cutaneous Photoaging provides an international perspective on the causes, consequences, pathophysiology and treatment of photoaging, ideal for dermatologists, students and professionals in photoscience.

From the Back Cover

Photoaging, like other diseases that affect older people disproportionately, is a growing area of research due to increasingly aging populations in many parts of the world. This book will provide a comprehensive account of the field covering topics such as control and structural analysis and the different approaches to utilizing light as a source for materials science. The core chapters focus on the current understanding of the biochemical mechanisms of photoageing and lead on to aspects of photoprotection and photomedicine to provide a complete picture of the current field and a context for the importance of the basic mechanistic understanding. With an international team of renowned contributors, this book is an ideal reference volume for dermatologists, photobiologists, physicians and students.
