What are the functions and benefits of human epidermal growth factor gel?

Human epidermal growth factor gel generally has the following functions and benefits: promoting wound healing, accelerating skin repair, reducing scar formation, relieving discomfort from skin damage, and assisting in maintaining the skin barrier. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Promoting wound healing: Human epidermal growth factor gel can stimulate epidermal cell proliferation, accelerate granulation tissue formation in skin wounds, shorten the healing time, and is suitable for wound repair such as burns and scalds.

2. Accelerating skin repair: For superficial injuries such as abrasions and cuts, the gel can activate the skin's repair mechanisms, promote epidermal cell migration and regeneration, and help damaged skin rapidly restore its normal structure.

3. Reducing scar formation: During the wound healing process, the gel can regulate collagen fiber synthesis, preventing excessive collagen deposition and thereby reducing scar hyperplasia, resulting in smoother healed skin.

4. Relieving discomfort from skin damage: Dryness and tightness may occur after skin injury. The gel helps maintain a moist wound environment, reduces external irritation to the wound, and alleviates discomfort.

5. Assisting in maintaining the skin barrier: For skin barrier damage after laser treatments or chemical peels (such as with fruit acids), the gel can promote stratum corneum repair, enhance the skin's water retention capacity, and assist in restoring skin barrier function.

Before applying human epidermal growth factor gel, the wound should be cleaned and contact with eyes and mucous membranes avoided. If infection or allergic reaction occurs at the wound site, use should be stopped immediately and medical attention sought. The medication must be stored under specified conditions to ensure stable efficacy.
