skin models

Skin models are simplified representations of the skin's structure used to study its behavior and how it responds to factors like aging, injury, or treatments. They range from physical models, such as silicone or gel layers mimicking skin, to computer simulations that predict responses based on biological data. These models help researchers understand skin mechanics, develop better skincare products, and improve medical treatments. Essentially, they provide a manageable way to analyze the complex, layered nature of skin without needing to work directly with living tissue each time.
