Abstract
The role of aesthetic procedures in long-term wound management is a growing field that combines known dermatological procedures with tailored care plans to enhance healing and improve outcomes for patients with certain wounds, including surgical incisions, tumours, and ulcers. Long-term wound management refers to the positioning of aesthetic procedures as a solution during the later stages of wound healing, most commonly the proliferation and maturation stages. This article will explain the science behind scarring, the role of micro-wounds in aesthetic procedures, and how collagen production influences the latter stages of wound healing. The necessary cautions and considerations for each procedure will also be discussed. The article will inform wound care teams about the potential benefits of aesthetic procedures in long-term wound management, ultimately contributing to enhanced patient care and quality of life.
