Cutaneous Photoaging

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.
