Aging is often experienced as an \u201cimperfection\u201d and, as such, the Aesthetic Medicine is called to<\/p>\n
consider it to set some solutions. Skin aging is the result of advancing age and chronic exposure to<\/p>\n
ultraviolet rays, which, during the time, cause changes of the cellular DNA level and the formation<\/p>\n
of altered proteins, both in terms of quantity and quality. Retinoic acid is a molecule known in the<\/p>\n
field of remedial programs in aesthetic medicine because is able to regress the cellular, structural<\/p>\n
and functional damages, induced by chronological and photo induced aging. In our study we wanted<\/p>\n
to verify on \u00c5\u00e35 patients the efficacy of retinoic acid in topical application for two consecutive<\/p>\n
months, testing the results using ultrasound skin imaging with 18 MHz probe. The ultrasound<\/p>\n
images of each patient before and after treatment, have been studied in comparison to show the<\/p>\n
increase of the dermo-epidermal thickness obtained at the end of the treatment. The quantitative and<\/p>\n
qualitative assessment of superficial skin plans shows clearly all the benefits induced by retinoic<\/p>\n
acid.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
