AGING
The skin is the organ most subject to changes due to ageing and pathological conditions in the body. These changes are due to the loss of collagen, the most important protein among those responsible for skin support and quality. Collagen is produced by the fibroblasts, the cells which contribute to creating the dermal network of fibres, typical of a healthy, compact and elastic skin.
Physiological aging involves a significant reduction in the quality and quantity of the fibroblasts in the derma, to the detriment of collagen production. Over the years, the consequences of collagen loss become apparent through a gradual reduction in skin thickness, compactness and elasticity.
