TLDR The human amniotic membrane is a promising material for skin treatments and hair growth.
The human amniotic membrane (HAM) is identified as a promising biomaterial in dermatology due to its regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. This review highlights HAM's applications in wound healing, psoriasis, skin rejuvenation, pigmentation disorders, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, and notably, hair regeneration. Its potential in clinical dermatology and tissue-based therapies is emphasized, with ongoing research expected to further define its applications and mechanisms, positioning it as a vital component in future biotherapeutic strategies.
