Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Skin rehabilitation is a rapidly developing field that is focused on improving the function and appearance of damaged skin. Recent advances in skin rehabilitation have led to the development of new treatments for a variety of skin conditions, including burns, wounds, and scars.
Amongst others, some of the recent advances in skin rehabilitation include: the use of stem cells, the use of biomaterials that are designed to mimic the properties of natural tissues to provide a scaffold for new tissue growth or to deliver drugs or growth factors to the skin, the development of new wound dressings that promote healing and prevent infection, the use of lasers to treat scars and other skin blemishes, the development of new surgical techniques for skin grafting and reconstruction, and the use of gene therapy to treat skin diseases.
The future of skin rehabilitation is promising. With continued research, new and improved treatments will be developed that will help people with damaged skin regain their quality of life.
