Hormesis and Cosmetic Dermatology
By: Haw-Yueh Thong, MD, MS, Department of Dermatol…
This review examines hormetic effects of various agents on skin biology. Recognition of this emerging biological phenomenon in dermatology could lead to markedly improved integrative assessments of animal/human skin responses to toxic substances and pharmacological agents, as well as endogenous agonists.
