Dermal fibroblasts in the focus of modern cosmetology: aging and response to cosmetic procedures: A review

Abstract

The article presents a review of modern information about the structure and function of dermal fibroblasts. The morphophysiology of fibroblasts, their role in the formation of connective tissue of the dermis and its restoration after damage are discussed. Detailed knowledge about proliferative and synthetic activity of fibroblasts seems to be very important in the reasonable choice of methods for correction of age-related skin changes and sequence of invasive procedures.
