Dermal Repair

Meaning

Dermal Repair is the complex biological process by which the skin, the body’s largest endocrine organ and primary barrier, regenerates and restores its structural integrity and functional capacity following injury or cumulative environmental damage. This process involves a coordinated cascade of cellular events, including inflammation, proliferation, and tissue remodeling, all heavily influenced by systemic hormones and growth factors. Effective dermal repair is essential for maintaining skin elasticity, barrier function, and a youthful appearance. Impaired repair capacity is a hallmark of chronological and photo-aging.
