This video is part of a Masterclass delivered by Daniel Morgado, MD, PhD at the Global Alumni Forum organized by the ISD. In this video, Morgado, MD, PhD, explains how photoaging affects different skin tones. He highlights solar elastosis as a key indicator of this process, induced by UVB and UVA rays. He discusses how darker skin shows visible signs of photoaging later in life, characterized by changes in pigmentation and texture. Also emphasizes the importance of an even skin tone, which is associated with a younger and more attractive appearance compared to an uneven tone.

Mònica Velázquez, responsible f the Science Office at ISD, presents this month's exciting advancements: a cannabidiol-based cream that could revolutionize photoprotection, a promising study on the improved prognosis of acral melanoma associated with nevi, and key insights on measuring impact and sustainability in global dermatology programs.

Pamela Figueroa, MD demonstrates in this video how an annual skin check can uncover hidden issues, like a basal cell carcinoma, even when there are no visible lesions. Using dermoscopy, Dr. Figueroa identified a small lesion on a patient's forehead, highlighting the importance of seeing a dermatologist every year to protect skin health.

The combined use of topical retinoids and antioxidants is frequently employed in skincare routines to treat photoaging. Discover how the proper use of topical retinoids and antioxidants, which include a wide variety of compounds such as vitamin C or ascorbic acid, vitamin E, and niacinamide, provides significant benefits for different skin conditions.
