Solar elastosis, also known as actinic elastosis, refers to the accumulation of abnormal elastin in the dermis due to prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This condition is commonly seen in areas of the skin that are frequently exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck, and hands. It is a hallmark of chronic photoaging and is associated with various skin changes like wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and pigmentation disorders.
