Scar Repair Product Development Service
Iron metabolism's involvement in the processes of wound healing and scar remodeling is important but multifaceted. Dysregulated amounts of iron may result in factors that contribute to oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and abnormal collagen deposition. Protheragen is at the forefront of iron metabolism disease research service market to provide a comprehensive and one-stop solution on iron metabolism-related cosmetics development, especially on innovative scar repair product development. Our mission is to accelerate the progress of researchers and scientists worldwide.
Overview of Iron Metabolism in Scar Repair
Formation of a scar is part of the normal process of wound healing in the body, with an intricate series of biochemical and cellular processes. Tissue repair is a beneficial process, but aberrant wound healing can result in problematic scarring, such as hypertrophic scars and keloids. Imbalanced iron homeostasis has a direct effect on wound healing and scar formation; recent advances in the field of science have revealed the importance of iron metabolism in this complex mechanism.
- Iron Metabolismand Inflammation
Excess iron can fuel persistent inflammation via Fenton reactions, generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) that damage tissue and impede proper healing.
- Iron Metabolismand Fibrosis
An excess of iron can lead to oxidative stress, which causes an abnormal deposition of collagen and subsequent fibrotic tissue, which is characteristic of severe scarring.
- Iron Metabolismand Remodeling
Effective iron homeostasis is of high importance for the activity of enzymes responsible for collagen maturation and degradation during the remodeling stage.

Effects of Scar Repair Products
By focusing on managing key targets of iron metabolism, including iron chelation, the iron-regulatory proteins, ferroportin expression, or the inhibition of ferroptosis in particular cell types, to design and develop new scar repair products that differ from the conventional approaches.
Scar repair products related to iron metabolism target not only the physical characteristics of scars, but also the biochemical pathways in which iron is involved. The effects of scar repair products related to iron metabolism involve the following aspects.
- Reduce hyperpigmentation: By targeting hemosiderin deposits and regulating iron accumulation in the scar tissue.
- Reduce the thickness and stiffness of scars: By modulating the synthesis and degradation of collagen, and decreases the fibrotic response.
- Improve scar texture and elasticity: By promoting more organized collagen deposition that supports healthy skin.
- Improve scars' overall appearance: Making the scar flatter, softer, and less visible.
