According to German researchers women's skin ages faster than men's - so men become distinguished women just look older!
The German team discovered this by using a new laser-based technique to measure damage from sun exposure and aging.
The technique involves shining pulses of infrared laser light on the skin to look at the deeper layers of the skin allowing the measurement of the amount of damage from sun exposure and measure aging.
Collagen emits blue light and elastin green, allowing the researchers to measure the relative amounts of each.
According to the researchers from Germany's Freidrich Schiller University in Jena and the Fraunhofer Institute of Biomedical Technology in St. Ingbert, the imaging they saw of collagen and elastin, whose degeneration causes wrinkles and loss of smoothness, illustrated that women lose collagen faster than men.
Collagens are a group of proteins in the dermis, the connective tissue layer of the skin, and are responsible for the strength of skin.
Though the human body makes a lot of collagen in youth, production declines with aging.
Currently, dermatologists who want to examine a patient's collagen network in the dermis have to remove a sample of tissue and look at it under a microscope and study co-author Johannes Koehler, says researchers would like to measure changes in collagen content over time.
The new technique, avoids damaging the first skin layer and the researchers suggest it could someday help analyze skin diseases that affect collagen and even test anti-aging cosmetic products.
The study is published in the journal Optics Letters.

据激光技术（我们）发现女性皮肤比男性皮肤老化得快
2006.10.04
据德国学者研究发现：女性皮肤老化快于男性皮肤，所以（同龄）女性看上去明显比男性要老。
德国研究小组利用一项新激光技术来测试日晒及衰老对皮肤造成的伤害，从而发现这个现象。这项技术包括红外光脉冲照射皮肤，并观察皮肤深层，同时测试日晒及衰老对皮肤的伤害。胶原蛋白发出蓝光，弹性蛋白则发出绿光，这样研究者就可以对每种成分进行测试。
据德国Jena and the Fraunhofer生物技术院Freidrich Schiller 大学研究小组发现，他们所看到的胶原蛋白及弹性蛋白图像揭示女性丢失胶原蛋白比男性快，而这些蛋白的退化则使皮肤出现皱纹并失去光滑，这说明对于胶原蛋白，女性比男性丢失的快。
胶原蛋白是在真皮层的一组蛋白质，属于皮肤的结缔组织，并维持皮肤一定的（弹性）强度。虽然人来在年轻时会生成很多胶原蛋白，但随着年龄的增长，胶原蛋白合成量会下降。
近期，一些要测试某患者真皮胶原网络的皮肤学家不得不移动组织样本，并在显微镜下观测。共同参与研究的Johannes Koehler说研究者想测试衰老胶原蛋白量的变化。
这项新技术避免了第一层皮肤的伤害，研究者暗示到哪一天这项技术将有助于那些影像胶原蛋白的皮肤疾病分析，甚至帮助我们测试抗衰老化妆品。 此消息本版已有报道
