HUMAN SKIN AGING REASON
Reserving stem cell plasticity and differentiation capability represents an important goal in tissue regeneration.

Nanomaterials
Hydrogels
There are two main routes of entry into the cell: direct fusion with the plasma membrane
Elasticity close to that of the surrounding tissues, and a permeability to oxygen that prevents the growth of
anaerobic bacteria
Nanoparticle–hydrogel superstructures, on the other hand, are new materials prepared by embedding
nanoparticles in hydrogels to produce nanoplatforms with highly tunable properties and a wide range of
applications
Typical components of hydrogels for wound dressings are polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium alginate (SA),
cyclodextrin (CD), hyaluronic acid (HA), polyacrylic acid (PAAc), polyacrylamide (PAAm), polycaprolactone (PCL),
polyethylene glycol (PEG), polylactic acid (PLA), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), collagen,
pectin, chitin, and many others
Ceria, curcumin, hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives, such as p-coumaric and ferulic acids, tannic acid,
propolis,natural plant extracts, anthocyanins and many other phytochemicals within nanocomposites
DRUG RELEASE
The hydrogels are used for the controlled drug release for the proper wound healing
hydrogel with antibacterial properties applied in the treatment of chronic infected diabetic wounds

NANO FIBRES
Nowadays, nanofibers are used for skin regeneration and rejuvenation as scaffolds, and for drug delivery.
Natural polymers are highly biocompatible, non-toxic, biodegradable
synthetic polymers can be modulated and modified during their preparation to meet specific requirements for each
case of application.
This leads to a control in their composition, molecular weight, crystalline structure, chemical properties and
mechanical features that allow high reproducibility for these materials
Nanoporosity, together with other prominent features in nanofibers, can be controlled during the process of
preparation . The most common way is through a technique called electrospinning
Currently, nanofibers of electrospun poly-"-caprolactone (PCL) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) have been described
as safe, well tolerated and effective
Drug-loaded nanofibers, a cerium-doped bioactive glass in a chitosan/polyethylene oxide nanofiber showed
remarkably high antibacterial
Nanofibers are able to combine the controlled release of the drug to the skin regeneration properties
SILVER SULFADIAZINE NANOMATERIALS-SSD
Silver sulfadiazine (SSD) is a drug based on a silver complex with an antibiotic of the sulphonamide
PVA nanofibers are able to induce scar-free wound healing retain humidity to maintain a moist wound

PRODUCTS
Antiaging useful NPs in cosmetics are dendrimers, nanocrystals, carbon nanotubes, niosomes, nanopolymers,
The cosmetic industry took advantage of the progresses in nanotechnology to expand its boundaries in personal
care and antiaging areas of sales
It has been demonstrated that gold nanoparticles are able to reduce wrinkles, improve skin brightening, promote
skin healing, have a cleansing effect
