AB  - KEY  POINTSThe  chronic  effects  of  ultraviolet  (UV)  radiation  are  photoaging  and  photocarcinogenesis.Photoaging  is  greatly  influenced  by  the  amount  of  melanin,  its  composition,  and  its  distribution.In  darker  skin  of  color,  photoaging  is  typically  not  evident  until  the  fifth  or  sixth  decade.Photoaging  in  Asians  presents  more  often  as  pigmentary  changes  and  less  often  as  wrinkling.Hispanics  are  an  extremely  heterogeneous  group  with  widely  varied  photoaging  phenotypes.Because  of  the  protective  effects  of  melanin,  individuals  with  skin  of  color  are  less  prone  to  develop  UV-associated  skin  cancers  compared  with  fair-skinned  individuals.
