Inflammation Inflammation is a fancy word for scabbing. After the body has told the wound to stop bleeding it starts to form a blood clot the good kind. The blood clots to form a scab which also acts as a barrier to keep germs and bacteria out of a wound. How long scabs take to heal depends on the type of injury.
Proliferation Once the wound is stabilized it goes into rebuild mode. The body sends oxygenrich blood cells and collagen to the wound which helps the body to form new skin. It may look red and raised at this stage.
Maturation Maturation is the stage of healing when a scar softens flattens and fades. Youll notice your wound looking more like the skin that was once there. During this stage the body is strengthening the area. Depending on the severity of the wound maturation may take a year or more to fully complete.
