Toenail growth slows down, they become yellowed, thicker and ridged & fungal infections are more common. Loss of tooth enamel causes them to yellow. Tooth loss may also be a sign of aging. Changes of the eyes: appearance of eyebags, crows feet, dark pigmentation, puffiness. Exposure to sun results in age changes related to radiation, called photo-aging. Anti-aging treatments: lotion with spf-15 & uva/uvb protection, alpha-hydroxyacid agents, plastic surgery, injections, artificial fillers, laser resurfacing treatments, microdermabrasion. The number of pigmented hair diminishes and the number of hairs that are no longer pigmented increases due to ceasing of melanin production thus causing grey hair to be predominant.
