Abstract
Skin wounds are common events and may occur in different situations for each person, but it's better to start the skin repairing process as soon as possible. So, the healing happens in the best time with the minimum scar and skin tissue damages. Recent developments in wound management have introduced the advanced therapeutic modalities for repairing the tissue, and each of the approaches contributes to enhancing tissue regeneration. Therefore, according to all developments in methods for increasing the speed of healing, it can be seen in skin wound healing processes too. So, it's necessary to know more about wound healing and different modern treatments and techniques for accelerating wound healing, especially in skin injuries. This review focuses on exploring the wound healing process and different advanced and modern treatments to introduce and review all these items together. It is useful for anyone who needs general data about advanced wound healing techniques.
