Aging is characterized by a slowing down of the process of cell regeneration and by reduced cellular defence. It affects all individuals. It
is caused by intrinsic factors, but is significantly affected by external influences from the environment and by lifestyle. Skin aging begins
once the hormonal changes in adolescence are completed. Prevention is the most important factor affecting the appearance of skin in
later years of life. The paper briefly describes the methods most commonly used in corrective dermatology.
