What is the Role of Fibroblasts in Dermal Thinning?
Fibroblasts are critical cells in the dermis responsible for producing and maintaining the extracellular matrix, including collagen and elastin fibers. With aging, the number and activity of fibroblasts decrease, leading to reduced collagen synthesis and, consequently, dermal thinning. Stimulating fibroblast activity through topical agents or procedural interventions can help mitigate some of the effects of dermal thinning.
