Skin drainage removes recovery signals

This proposed mechanism asks whether restoring the support matrix around aged skin cells can make faster fluid drainage slow healing instead of helping it. The idea is that rapid drainage clears an inert tracer, a harmless tracking substance, yet also washes away local signals that help inflammation resolve. The test compares low drainage, high drainage, and high drainage with replacement of the depleted recovery signal while tissue health, pressure, hydration and oxygen stay matched. If replacement restores the skin barrier while drainage remains high, that pattern would support selective signal loss over a simple clearance problem.
