Abstract
Photodamage constitutes a skin disease that merits therapy. Immediate cosmetic improvement of pho-todamaged skin can be achieved most dramatically by surgical means. Medical intervention has been limited until the recent advent of topical retinoic acid products for pho-toaging. These medications have been shown to enhance cosmesis and to produce long-lasting physiologic changes. The clinical features of photodamage and treatment with topical tretinoin are discussed.Keywords
