The study of morphotypes of aging is one of the urgent tasks of modern aesthetic medicine, which allows us to understand and develop a course of procedures aimed at combating skin aging, taking into account the characteristics of each individual.

Correction of age-related changes, based on the morphotypes of aging, allows you to select a comprehensive individual program that will give both quick and long-term results, and will allow you to predict further age-related changes.

The aging of the skin and the body as a whole is characterized by heterochrony and heterotropy. However, despite the individual diversity of age-related changes in the face, it is possible to distinguish main (mandatory for all people) and secondary (possible, but not obligatory) signs. The main ones include a decrease in the elasticity of soft tissues, dryness and thinning of the skin, the appearance of wrinkles and/or folds, and senile deformation. The secondary ones include swelling and pastiness in the periorbital zone, enlarged pores, and the occurrence of hyperpigmentation.
