Inflammaging

Inflammaging, or skin aging associated with chronic inflammation, is a phenomenon that is becoming increasingly recognized among skin care professionals. This concept combines two key aspects - inflammation and aging - to explain how chronic inflammation can accelerate skin aging.

Inflammation is the body's natural defense mechanism in response to damage, infection or disease. However, chronic inflammation that does not subside can lead to cell and tissue damage, which in turn accelerates the aging process.

Inflammaging can be caused by a variety of factors, such as stress, poor diet, sun exposure or environmental pollution. All of these can contribute to chronic inflammation, which in the long term can lead to loss of skin firmness, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.

To prevent inflammaging, a holistic approach is important, which includes both proper skin care and a healthy lifestyle. Professional cosmetic treatments can help combat the signs of inflammaging by infusing the skin with ingredients that help reduce inflammation and counteract the aging process.
