Unlike previous studies that examined individual effects of plasma, this review provides an integrative perspective on low-temperature atmospheric plasma as a therapeutic platform combining antimicrobial, regenerative, and immunomodulatory properties. Special attention is given to the paradoxical selectivity of low-temperature atmospheric plasma—its ability to stimulate the regeneration of normal tissues and simultaneously inducing apoptosis in pathologically altered cells.</p> <p>The article provides an analysis of clinical studies on the use of low-temperature atmospheric plasma in various dermatological conditions (psoriasis, acne, atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, pyoderma gangrenosum), confirming the therapeutic efficacy of the method without significant adverse effects. For the first time, low-temperature atmospheric plasma is considered in the context of skin microbiome modulation, introducing the concept of using this method not only for the elimination of pathogens but also for the restoration of microbial balance. A fundamentally novel aspect is the analysis of low-temperature atmospheric plasma for transdermal drug delivery through the effect of transient changes in cell membrane permeability.</p> <p>The review also highlights current limitations in standardizing plasma treatment parameters and underscores the need for large-scale randomized studies with the aim to develop personalized treatment protocols. This work provides a theoretical foundation for further research into low-temperature atmospheric plasma as a promising alternative to traditional therapeutic methods in dermatology.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В настоящем обзоре систематизированы и критически проанализированы современные данные об использовании низкотемпературной атмосферной плазмы в дерматологии с акцентом на её мультимодальные механизмы действия и клиническую эффективность. В отличие от предыдущих работ, сосредоточенных на отдельных эффектах плазмы, данный обзор предлагает интегративный взгляд на низкотемпературную атмосферную плазму как терапевтическую платформу с уникальным сочетанием антимикробного, регенеративного и иммуномодулирующего потенциалов. Особое внимание уделяется парадоксальной селективности низкотемпературной атмосферной плазмы ― способности стимулировать регенерацию нормальных тканей при одновременном запуске апоптоза в патологически изменённых клетках.</p> <p>В статье представлен анализ клинических исследований применения низкотемпературной атмосферной плазмы при различных дерматозах (псориаз, акне, атопический дерматит, витилиго, гангренозная пиодермия), подтверждающий терапевтическую эффективность метода без значимых побочных эффектов. Авторы впервые рассматривают низкотемпературную атмосферную плазму в контексте коррекции состава кожного микробиома, предлагая концепцию использования метода не только для элиминации патогенов, но и для восстановления микробного баланса. Принципиально новым является анализ возможностей низкотемпературной атмосферной плазмы в трансдермальной доставке лекарственных средств благодаря эффекту временного изменения проницаемости клеточной мембраны.</p> <p>В обзоре также выявлены существующие ограничения в стандартизации параметров плазменного воздействия и обоснована необходимость крупномасштабных рандомизированных исследований с целью разработки персонализированных протоколов лечения. Работа закладывает теоретическую основу для дальнейших исследований низкотемпературной атмосферной плазмы в качестве перспективной альтернативы традиционным методам лечения в дерматологии.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>low-temperature argon plasma</kwd><kwd>dermatology</kwd><kwd>immunomodulation</kwd><kwd>skin microbiome</kwd><kwd>tissue regeneration</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>низкотемпературная аргоновая плазма</kwd><kwd>дерматология</kwd><kwd>иммуномодуляция</kwd><kwd>микробиом кожи</kwd><kwd>регенерация тканей</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Gan L, Jiang J, Duan JW, et al.
