In this episode, Dermatologist Dr Ritu Gupta joins host Dr David Lim to unpack skin ageing as a reversible, biologically active process with real implications for keratinocyte skin cancer risk. They translate emerging science on inflammaging, epigenetic change, and laser therapies into practical, GP-friendly strategies for everyday Australian practice:
Understand skin ageing as a dynamic, bidirectional process involving epigenetic change 
Explore how skin barrier dysfunction, impaired immune surveillance and altered microbiome collectively create a “perfect storm” for keratinocyte skin cancers 
Learn the practical hierarchy of interventions  
Hear how different laser and light modalities help “reset” the cutaneous clock 
Gain consultation-ready language to explain to patients why treating visible photodamage is not just “cosmetic”
