Med."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Skin aging is commonly evaluated through visible phenotype, clinical grading, and photographic documentation, yet these approaches incompletely capture the biological mechanisms that shape tissue quality, regenerative capacity, and long-term response to intervention. Recent advances in longevity science, including skin-specific epigenetic clocks, molecular profiling, functional tissue assessment, imaging technologies, and artificial intelligence-derived digital phenotyping create an opportunity to redefine esthetic dermatology as a more biologically informed and longitudinally guided discipline. This article combines a critical synthesis of the current literature with an original translational diagnostic framework for precision esthetic longevity, integrating five complementary layers: systemic biological age and longevity biomarkers; skin- and tissue-specific molecular biomarkers, including epigenetic, senescence-related, inflammatory, glycation, oxidative damage, extracellular matrix, and barrier-related domains; functional biomarkers reflecting elasticity, hydration, microcirculation, barrier integrity, and healing capacity; imaging-based and morphometric diagnostics capturing structural, optical, and spatial features of skin and facial aging; and digital phenotyping tools that may support standardized assessment and longitudinal monitoring. The central premise is that esthetic aging should not be interpreted as a single surface phenotype, but as the visible and measurable expression of interacting systemic, molecular, functional, structural, and digital dimensions. Biological age biomarkers and epigenetic clocks may provide systemic context, whereas skin-specific molecular and imaging biomarkers may offer more direct insight into local tissue aging. However, most available tools remain insufficiently validated for esthetic treatment selection or claims of biological rejuvenation. We therefore emphasize analytical validity, clinical validity, reproducibility, standardization, phototype-inclusive validation, and clinically meaningful endpoints as prerequisites for responsible translation. To make this actionable, we outline a methodological road map for prospectively validating the framework in future multilayer biomarker studies. A layered diagnostic model may support the transition from appearance-based assessment toward mechanism-informed esthetic medicine while maintaining caution regarding overinterpretation, commercialization, and premature clinical adoption.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2026.1902741","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,14]],"date-time":"2026-08-14T11:46:40Z","timestamp":1786708000000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["From
