Transdermal plasma delivery occurs when the electric field of the plasma generates a voltage drop on the skin, with most of the voltage drop applied to the high-resistance stratum corneum. When the surface potential reaches the driving voltage, this distribution leads to corneum breakdown [49,53,...
Life quality of keloid patients is dramatically affected by physical symptoms, including pruritus and pain, as well as psychological barriers [3].

On the other hand, estrogens have been implicated in skin aging, pigmentation, hair growth, sebum production and skin cancer.
