The aging face.
Advancements in technology and medicine have led to a greater life expectancy and a corresponding increased interest in the mechanisms and prevention of aging. Because of its central role in human perception of age and emotion, the aging face generates a high demand for understanding the etiology of senescence-related changes. There are effective nonsurgical and surgical methods available for those seeking functional or cosmetic facial rejuvenation.
