anti aging Flashcards
target of anti-aging products
dermis
Intrinsic
not affected by externa factors
- Telomere shortening
- ↑ Cell senescence: Cell aging
- ↓ Hormones
- ↑ Mitochondrial DNA damage and ↑ Reactive oxygen
species (ROS) - Protein damage
process of aging: intrinsic
- increased cell senescence
- As the cell divides, the _______ shortens until
the cell or chromosomes can no longer divide
telomere shortening; telomere
- Structures made from DNA sequences and proteins
- Found at the ends of chromosomes
- Cap and protect the end of a chromosome
- Required for cell division
telomere
↑ Cell senescence
Cell aging
cell loses the capability to replicate and grow, then eventually die
cell senescence
- The damage that we see in cells happens because of oxidative reaction
- Changes in hormonal levels that result to protein damage
↑ Mitochondrial DNA damage and ↑ Reactive oxygen species (ROS)
The damage that we see in cells happens because of ___________
oxidative reaction
aging is slow continuous and reversible (t or f)
F; irreversible
degeneration of elastin, and loss of hydration
thinning of dermis
- Growth and differentiation of skin are still there
- Epidermal and dermal junction is has ridges and
curves
> Facilitates the transfer of nutrients
from the dermis to epidermis
Epidermis: young skin
- Epidermal atrophy
>Cells multiply to a lesser extent - Smoothened epidermal and dermal junction
>Harder to transfer nutrients
Epidermis: aged skin
- Organized collagen and elastin fibers
- Vascular tissue present
Dermis: young skin
- Dermal atrophy
>Collagen and elastin are reduced
○ Reduced vascular tissue
>Less available nutrients for multiplying cells
Dermis: aged skin
Extrinsic
affected by external components
One of the external factors that can lead to skin aging
sun
- ↑ Protease activity and ↓ TIMP activity → direct protein damage
- Amino acids (H, Y, W, F, C) → direct protein damage
- Direct DNA damage → Formation of ROS → Indirect DNA and Protein damage
process of aging: extrinsic
Acceleration of intrinsic aging due to exposure to
environmental factors
Primary factors: UV radiation and smoking Also pollution
- Coarse skin with wrinkles
- Hyperpigmented areas,
- Sallowness
- Increased fragility
- Textural roughness
- Telangiectasia (Spider veins)
physiological changes due to extrinsic factors
causes photoaging (extrinsic aging)
UVA
cleansing and moisturizing

production and etc.)
