Abstract
Therapeutic use in dermatology of plasma devices is a relevant topic in ongoing research. These devices are operated at atmospheric pressure in ambient air or other gases for the treatment of skin diseases or disinfection of skin surface. Due to the fact that the interaction of plasma with human skin is not fully understood, further research is needed to make sure that there is no damage done to the human body by plasma treatment.
