Aging is associated with alterations of facial appearance at varying extent and onset depending on the type of skin, life habits and the level of sun exposure .The objective of the study was to characterize and assess the main facial aging signs in Afro-American women.

The study involved a population sample of 227 Afro-American female volunteers from Chicago aged from 20 to 80 years and classified by 5 year sub-groups. Photographs of selected areas of the face were taken with a standard positioning for each area and related aging signs were scored by a panel of 11 trained experts. The photographs were presented and quoted on a computer screen in a random order, different for each expert. The relevance and reliability of photograph quotation was ensured by using standardized reference visual charts with graded aging signs.

The following aging criteria were thereby scored: horizontal interocular wrinkles, glabellar frown lines, horizontal neck folds, nasolabial fold, crow’s feet wrinkles, wrinkles of lower eyelid, forehead wrinkles, upper lip wrinkles, underneath eye wrinkles, pores, mouth corner fold, full eye bags, lower face ptosis, neck sagging, texture of the neck, fatty heap of the superior eyelid, dermatosis papulosis nigra, pigmented area surrounding the eyes, chromatic differences on all the face, acne marks, chin withering.

The overview of the different clinical parameters indicates similar signs of ageing for Afro-American and for Caucasian or Chinese women. Mathematical modelling of the mean score curves vs. age shows that all the signs worsen with aging process but at highly different rates.

The process observed with age is less pronounced compared to the other ethnic panels (Caucasian and Chinese). One of the reasons is probably due to the properties of Afro-American skin which is less “permeable” to UV beams, protecting the dermal cells from early aging. On the other hand, pigmentation criteria are important for Afro-American skin aging.
