Non-thermal plasma promotes hair growth by improving the inter-follicular macroenvironment

Abstract

Non-thermal plasma (NTP) is widely used in the disinfection and surface modification of biomaterials.

Biomaterials for Treatment of Baldness

“…One of the four basic states of matter is plasma, which has been extensively employed to clean and alter the surface of biomaterials. According to reports, NTP has the potential to be used clinically in the treatment of skin pathologies such as pressure ulcers, acne, and chronic wounds [30][31][32].…”

“…It can, however, heal and improve skin function. In this article, we suggest an air-based NTP therapy that produces extrinsic nitric oxide (eNO) as a preventative measure for the evident loss of hair [ 30 ]. When air-based NTP is applied topically, significant levels of eNO may be immediately measured using a small-sized electrode NO sensing system in the mouse's outer skin, eNO produced by NTP also stimulates hair development by enhancing the formation of capillary tubes and increases cell division, production of hair, and formation of newer blood vessels [ 31 ].…”

“…A professional organization, Korea Testing Certification (KTC), conducted additional testing on the NTP device's electrical and electromagnetic safety. It was determined that the NTP advanced device was not hazardous for usage in skin science advancement purposes [ 30 ].…”
