The Disease State of Mature Skin

Skin aging is more than cosmetic. In addition to overall thinning, wrinkles, and pigmentary changes, skin becomes fragile and can bruise and tear more easily. In this, the first of three podcasts that address aging skin and improving skin health, board-certified dermatologists, Dr. Joel Schlessinger and Dr. Roger Ceilley discuss the characteristics and causes of aging skin, including an overview of options for intervention.
