Abstract

The restoration of skinskin integrity and functioning relies on woundwound healing, a multistep physiological process. It is still very difficult to effectively treat both acute and chronic wounds, even with healthcare innovations. The use of micro/nanoemulsions and other innovative treatment techniques has recently come to the forefront of wound care technology. Promising possibilities for expediting wound healing, these systems are defined by their unique physicochemical features, which allow increased drug solubility, stability, and targeted delivery. The vital function of micro/nanoemulsions in cutting-edge wound healing applications is examined in this chapter. Their anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and tissue regenerationregeneration activities are highlighted, along with their formulation methodologies, important components (such as bioactive compounds, lipids, and surfactants), and modes of action. Chronic, burn, and post-surgical wounds are only a few of the wound types that are covered in detail. More precise wound care is now possible due to nanotechnology-enabled smart and sensitive emulsions. Even while these systems show a lot of promise, they also face problems including reliability, scalability, and regulatory roadblocks. Future directions are discussed in the chapter’s last section, with topics such multifunctional emulsions, digital health technology integration, and personalized medicine being highlighted. When it comes to wound healing, micro/nanoemulsions are game changers because they connect fundamental research with clinical application, giving patients fresh hope for better results. 128Researchers, clinicians, and industry stakeholders may benefit from this in-depth review of the potential of micro/nanoemulsions in reshaping wound care practices.
