Skin aging is a complex, multi-stage biological process involving changes not only within the epidermis, but also in the dermis and deeper tissue layers. It leads to a gradual loss of firmness, elasticity, volume, and structural balance of the skin. This process is not uniform – it progresses differently depending on the facial area, skin type, and individual biological predispositions.
Skin aging results from the interaction of internal mechanisms, such as reduced cellular activity, decreased regenerative capacity, protein glycation, and oxidative stress, as well as external factors – primarily UV radiation, lifestyle, diet, sleep quality, and environmental exposure. These changes occur simultaneously at multiple tissue levels and have a cumulative, progressive nature.
The course focuses on an in-depth understanding of skin aging processes, their pathogenesis, and the clinical manifestations observed in cosmetology practice. Structural, vascular, and pigmentary changes are discussed, along with volume loss and alterations of facial contour characteristic of mature skin. The training organizes essential knowledge required for accurate skin assessment and informed planning of anti-aging strategies in professional practice.
