Abstract
An emerging field of plasma medicine is discussed, where non‐equilibrium plasmas are shown to be able to initiate, promote, control, and catalyze various complex behaviors and responses in biological systems. More importantly, it will be shown that plasma can be tuned to achieve the desired medical effect, especially in medical sterilization and treatment of different kind of skin diseases. Wound healing and tissue regeneration can be achieved following various types of plasma treatment in a multitude of wound pathologies. Non‐equilibrium plasmas will be shown to be non‐destructive to tissue, safe, and effective in inactivation of various parasites and foreign organisms.
