Solar elastosis

Solar elastosis is another word for wrinkles and occurs when skin’s elastic tissue deteriorates from sun exposure. Mayoclinic.com said that without the strength of the tissue and collagen, skin becomes limp.

Symptoms:
- Wrinkles
- Loose and sagging skin
- Deep lines in skin

Treatment:
- Apply skin creams such as Imiquimod or tacrolimus so skin can regain tightness
- Drink water to keep skin hydrated
- Avoid extended sun exposure early in life to avoid solar elastosis
- Laser resurfacing
