AB  - Wound healing is impaired in the advanced aged population (1). The rate of epithelialisation invitro displayed reduced cellular activity when comparing keratinocytes from an aged human donor to a newborn donor (2). Due to this reduced activity in the epidermis, dermis and the altered extra cellular matrix production, the older persons skin becomes thinner and less dense and more susceptible to damage even after trivial traumas and more difficult to heal (1).
