Solar elastosis separates from the epidermis by a narrow band of normal-appearing collagen (grenz zone) with collagen fibers arranged horizontally.[1]
Actinic elastosis, also known as solar elastosis, is an accumulation of abnormal elastin (elastic tissue) in the dermis of the skin,[2] or in the conjunctiva of the eye,[3] which occurs as a result of the cumulative effects of prolonged and excessive sun exposure, a process known as photoaging.
