SKIN AGING ATLAS – Volume 5 : Photoaging face & body

Photo-biology is perhaps the moste striking example of the conspicuous contribution provided by academic research to the progress of skin care technologies. As in every other domain of science, rigorous data are necessary for a deep understanding of the phenomena under scrutiny.This is particularly true for for discipline called « photo-aging », where rigorous, quantitative data have been wanting. The Atlas of photo-aging, by Roland Bazin & Frederic Flament, fills a void and is most welcome insofar as it provides riigorously collected evidences about the effect of solar radiation on the skin of different ethnic groups.
