Abstract

Extrinsic skin aging has, for many years, been mainly attributed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Recently, it has become evident that other parts of the solar electromagnetic spectrum contribute as well. Among these, infrared radiation, especially infrared A, has received increasing attention. This chapter will summarize the current knowledge about the epidemiological evidence, molecular principles, and prevention/protection, as it concerns skin aging induced by infrared A.
