Dermal Aging Biomarkers

Meaning

Quantifiable molecular, cellular, or physiological characteristics found within the dermis that objectively measure or predict the biological age and functional decline of the skin. These indicators provide clinical insights into the rate of intrinsic and extrinsic aging processes, serving as essential tools for evaluating anti-aging interventions and monitoring dermal health. Examples include specific changes in collagen and elastin fragment levels, telomere length in fibroblasts, and the accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).
