Cosmeceutical science in clinical practice
Cosmeceuticals – skin care products that fall between a cosmetic and a pharmaceutical, with active ingredients that counter skin aging and promote skin rejuvenation – are an invaluable adjunct to the cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon performing minimally invasive aesthetic procedures. This guide from expert researchers and practitioners explains how best to integrate the potential of cosmeceutical products into the best international clinical practice, with new chapters to cover the very latest developments in this area.
Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP)
Plasma medicine is an innovative research field combining plasma physics, life science, and clinical medicine. It is mainly focused on the application cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) in therapeutic settings. Based on its ability to inactivate microorganisms but also to stimulate tissue regeneration, current medical applications are focused on the treatment of wounds and skin diseases. Since CAP is also able to inactivate cancer cells, its use in cancer therapy is expected to be the next field of clinical plasma application. Other promising applications are expected in oral medicine and ophthalmology
