106 citations,
July 2013 in “Advances in wound care” UV radiation can help sterilize wounds and promote healing but requires careful use to avoid damaging cells.
101 citations,
October 2016 in “Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine” Fullerenes show potential in skin care but need more safety research.
