Glossary Re-epithelialization

process of new skin cell growth over a wound

Re-epithelialization is the process by which new skin cells (epithelial cells) grow and cover a wound, helping it to heal. This is a crucial step in wound healing, as it restores the protective barrier of the skin, preventing infection and further injury. For professionals, it involves the migration, proliferation, and differentiation of keratinocytes to re-establish the epidermal layer.

There is no published human trial showing that an oral Centella asiatica (gotu kola) supplement stops hair shedding caused by poor nutrition; the evidence is laboratory work on dermal papilla cells, inflammation and collagen, and community reports mention centella only in topical products.
