The hidden biological machinery that repairs your skin from within
In short: When you get a cut, your body initiates an immediate, sophisticated repair mission. This video explores the journey beneath the surface to see how your skin regenerates itself.
While we often only see the surface of a wound, the real work happens in the dermis. The process is described as a complex and well-coordinated regenerative response that allows our largest organ—covering about 20 square feet in adults—to maintain its integrity.
By looking past the epidermis, the video illustrates how your body manages these repairs to restore damaged tissue.
