Article Synopsis
- The review summarizes key insights from the photoprotection session at the 2022 International Forum of Dermatology, highlighting recent developments and ongoing debates in the field.
- Cumulative UV radiation exposure is linked to skin issues like photoageing and increased cancer risks, with UVA causing DNA damage and UVB leading to sunburns.
- Effective photoprotection strategies include shade, protective clothing, and advanced sunscreens, with a focus on newer formulations offering broader spectrum protection.
Few studies have combined high-resolution, non-invasive imaging, such as standardized clinical images, reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), for age-related skin change characterization according to age groups. This study aimed to correlate clinical manifestations of ageing with skin cytoarchitectural background observed with high-resolution, non-invasive imaging according to age-related skin pattern distribution. A set of 140 non-pathological facial skin images were retrospectively retrieved from a research database.
