Glogau Classification

The Glogau Classification is a system used to assess the severity of skin aging, particularly for cosmetic procedures. It categorizes individuals into four types based on wrinkles, skin texture, and pigmentation. Type I has minimal signs of aging, while Type IV shows severe wrinkles and significant skin changes. This classification helps dermatologists and patients understand skin condition and determine appropriate treatments, such as topical products or cosmetic surgery, aimed at improving appearance and maintaining skin health. It provides a useful guide for addressing aesthetic concerns related to aging skin.
