Topical applications significantly accelerate wound healing and reduce scarring
Multiple pre-clinical and review studies demonstrate that various topical applications—ranging from bionanomaterials and phytochemicals to growth factors and epigenetic inhibitors—significantly accelerate wound closure, reduce inflammation, and minimize scarring.
The retrieved literature consistently supports the claim that topical applications (including bionanomaterials, phytochemicals, exosomes, and pharmacological agents) accelerate wound healing and reduce scarring by modulating inflammation, enhancing re-epithelialization, and optimizing extracellular matrix remodeling. There are no refuting papers.
Pre-clinical and review studies demonstrate that various topical applications accelerate wound healing and reduce scarring.
