ECOBIOLOGY AND YOUR SKIN
Ecobiology and wound healing
Skin can be damaged by bruises, cuts, burns, and surgery, which may leave a scar. The various steps in the skin’s repair process can be optimized with NAOS products that improve comfort and help the skin barrier to restore itself.
Understanding skin healing
Healing is a natural biological process that the skin launches automatically in the event of a wound. Repair differs depending on the type of wound. From healing broken blood vessels beneath the surface to closing an open gash, helping the skin to rebuild injured tissue requires full comprehension of its ecosystem.
Stimulate skin’s resources to heal itself faster and better
Skin uses a variety of repair methods. Supporting healing can include bringing moisture and lipids, providing an occlusive or non-occlusive environment, and reducing itchiness and inflammation. NAOS’s expertise in healing skin can be found in the Bioderma Cicabio range.
Skin’s own healing processes, and how to reinforce them
Skin’s natural process for healing is composed of three steps. First, the infection is fought, and special cells destroy damaged tissue. Then, repairing follows: small vessels rebuild themselves; new tissue is made and the wound shrinks to draw the edges together. Third step: collagen and elastic fibers become denser, the vascular bed gradually returns to normal, and skin’s resistance increases.
After a bump or knock, receiving a wound, or having surgery performed, it’s possible to reduce pain and swelling, and fasten skin’s repair. Protecting skin that is healing from the sun is also important, to further reduce the risk of scarring.
