“…Collagen, the principal component of the human dermis, has a high tensile strength, and this strength is critically important in preventing the skin from deforming or tearing when confronted with increased mechanical stress. Skin thickness, primarily a measure of the integrity of the dermis, has been shown to diminish with age after the seventh decade of life, 10–12 and it has been suggested that this loss of dermal volume reflects a linear decline in dermal collagen content throughout life 13 . This collagen loss, confirmed with biochemical 14 and immunohistochemical 15 collagen assays, is even greater in photodamaged skin than in simply intrinsically aged skin 15 .…”
