Abstract in brief

This study explored how extracorporeal shock waves (ESW) can promote skin healing by increasing collagen production and blood vessel formation in facial skin, using goats as a model.
The results showed that applying ESW at different intensities led to thicker skin, more microvessels, and higher collagen levels, especially with specific energy settings (0.015 and 0.045 mJ/mm²).
The findings suggest that a single session of low-energy ESWs could be useful for enhancing skin regeneration and healing in medical procedures like skin flaps or tissue repair.]
