Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Cutis laxa is a disease of premature ageing. While the congenital type is characterized by mutations of genes involved in extracellular matrix turnover, acquired cutis laxa is a rare disease that can be induced by a variety of exogenous factors. We present a case of acquired type 2 cutis laxa of the neck due to excessive exposure to natural sunlight and a type 1 facial acquired cutis laxa, both significantly improved by minor invasive procedures. The etiology, prevention and treatment options are discussed.
