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.

research Re-epithelialization of the skin following CO 2 laser resurfacing

20 citations , January 2001 in “Journal of Cutaneous Laser Therapy”

This study found that wound healing after CO(2) laser resurfacing is faster with occlusive dressings, as they enhance cell migration from hair follicles, compared to untreated skin, which showed delayed re-epithelialization.

research The efficacy and safety of autologous epidermal cell suspensions for re‐epithelialization of skin lesions: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized trials

10 citations , June 2024 in “Skin Research and Technology”

This meta-analysis found that autologous epidermal cell suspensions reduce healing time, donor site size, operation time, pain scores, and complications in skin lesions. However, their impact on treatment area size, repigmentation, scar scale scores, and patient satisfaction was minimal.

research M-CSF-stimulated myeloid cells can convert into epithelial cells to participate in re-epithelialization and hair follicle regeneration during skin wound healing

December 2021

This study reports that in mice, CD11b+ myeloid cells can convert into epithelial cells, contributing to skin wound repair and hair follicle regeneration.

research Platelet-rich plasma accelerates skin wound healing by promoting re-epithelialization

169 citations , January 2020 in “Burns & Trauma”

In this study, autologous platelet-rich plasma improved skin wound healing in mice, associated with reduced inflammation and enhanced angiogenesis and re-epithelialization, but the underlying regulatory mechanism requires further investigation.

Thyroxine (T4) May Promote Re-Epithelialization and Angiogenesis in Wounded Human Skin Ex Vivo

research Thyroxine (T4) may promote re-epithelialisation and angiogenesis in wounded human skin ex vivo

27 citations , March 2019 in “PLoS ONE”

This study suggests that Thyroxine (T4) may promote key features of human skin wound healing, such as re-epithelialization and angiogenesis, in an ex vivo model.

community Comprehensive Microneedling Guide

292 upvotes 4 years ago

Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.

community Can topical Minoxidil use backfire if you’re a non-responder?

1 upvotes 3 months ago

The user has been using finasteride successfully to stop hair shedding and is considering using topical minoxidil for regrowth but is concerned about being a non-responder and potential negative effects. They are cautious about using oral minoxidil due to past heart issues and are exploring other methods like tretinoin cream and dermarolling, though they worry about possible skin damage.

community [26M] Min 5 month progress, worse skin?

49 upvotes 2 years ago

A user experienced skin irritation and acne while using Minoxidil foam, but after stopping both the foam and a sea salt spray, their skin improved. They plan to try oral Minoxidil, suspecting the sea salt spray, not Minoxidil, was the main cause of their skin issues.

community What If You're Taking Fin When Your Partner Gets Pregnant?

1 week ago

Men taking finasteride while their partner is pregnant is generally considered low risk for the fetus, with studies showing no significant increase in birth defects. However, some concerns exist about potential effects on fertility and a possible association with cryptorchidism, so discussing with healthcare providers is advised.

community Is microneedling worth it when you're on dut and oral min?

in Microneedling 11 upvotes 6 months ago

Microneedling may not significantly enhance hair growth when combined with dutasteride and oral minoxidil, as its primary benefit is improving topical absorption. Some users suggest using a 1.5mm depth for potential follicle stimulation, but results and effectiveness vary.
