Exploring Anti-Aging Effects of Topical Treatments for Actinic Keratosis.

: Actinic keratosis (AK) is a precancerous cutaneous lesion driven by chronic ultraviolet (UV) exposure, often coexisting with features of photoaging, such as wrinkles and pigmentary irregularities. Recent evidence suggests that treatments for AK may also counteract photoaging through shared molecular pathways, including oxidative stress and inflammation. This narrative review explores the dual benefits of AK therapies, highlighting their potential anti-aging and skin-lightening effects, and implications for improving skin appearance alongside lesion clearance.
