TLDR Non-thermal plasma treatment makes mouse skin thicker and increases growth factors without harming the tissue.
In a study from 2018, researchers investigated the effects of non-thermal plasma (NTP) on mouse skin tissue. They found that NTP treatment did not cause any tissue damage and resulted in a significant increase in epidermal thickness and dermal collagen density. Additionally, NTP treatment led to an increased expression of various growth factors, including TGF-α, TGF-β, VEGF, GM-CSF, and EGF, in the skin tissue. These findings suggest that NTP could be a beneficial tool for skin treatments, promoting epidermal expansion and dermal tissue remodeling through the induction of growth factors without causing damage.
