Composition restoration1

  • Repairing all three skin matrix components may restore function without replacing cells

    Where this hypothesis actsThroughout the mapped volume of altered dermis

    What is proposedRestore the hyaluronan-proteoglycan matrix to predefined structural limits

    With whatNot stated in the record

    HowRestore the water-binding environment after elastic network restoration while retaining existing cells; assess annually and allow at most one correction course per year

    Possible resultExpected restoration of tissue hydration supporting joint recovery of skin functions
