Introduction

Background

  • The concept of integrating nanotechnology into the skin is referred to as "nanodermatology", which is a sub-discipline of nanomedicine
  • Various skin conditions and injuries require rapid, specialized treatments
  • Nanotechnology offers innovative ways to treat damaged skin while also improving existing treatments

Significance

Significance

  • The majority of people experience some form of skin damage
  • Many wounds can heal relatively quickly with little to no long-term implications
  • However, other wounds can be difficult to heal such as chronic wounds and deep burns
  • The ability of the skin to heal is further complicated by age
  • Nanotechnology helps to facilitate the healing process and repair injured skin tissue

Applications

Methods of Integration

Materials

Limitations

Conclusion

  • Potential health complications from bioaccummulation
  • Unintentional cell interaction
  • Regulation

Relevance

This topic is relevant to the course because it explores the medical application of nanotechnology to the human body, otherwise known as nanomedicine
