Dermal Remodeling

Meaning

The dynamic, continuous biological process involving the synthesis, degradation, and reorganization of the extracellular matrix components within the skin’s dermis, primarily collagen and elastin fibers. This intricate process is essential for wound healing, maintaining skin elasticity, firmness, and overall structural integrity throughout the lifespan. Hormonal factors, particularly estrogen and various growth factors, significantly influence the rate and quality of this essential renewal process.
