GlossaryEpidermal Repair

process of skin healing and regenerating after damage

Epidermal repair refers to the process by which the outermost layer of the skin, the epidermis, heals after being damaged. This involves the regeneration of skin cells, the reformation of the skin barrier, and the restoration of its protective functions. For professionals, it includes cellular activities like keratinocyte migration, proliferation, and differentiation, as well as the re-establishment of the skin's structural integrity and function.
