Slowing the aging process and rejuvenation have been one of the major goals of medicine and are in high demand as consumers seek agents or treatments that can prevent or reverse age-associated changes in the skin. Skin Photaging reviews the compounds and modalities that have been shown (or have potential) to improve the appearance of prematurely aged skin.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader.Rui Yin MD Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of Dermatology, Southwest Hospital, Third Military Medical University, and a visiting associate professor of Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital.
