skin preservation

Skin preservation is a process used mainly in medical, forensic, or archaeological contexts to maintain the integrity of skin tissues after death or removal from the body. It involves treating the skin with chemicals or by drying to prevent decomposition, bacteria growth, and damage. These methods help preserve the skin's structure, color, and texture, making it suitable for study, display, or transplantation. Proper preservation ensures that the skin remains in good condition over time, allowing experts to examine or utilize it for various scientific or medical purposes.
