Healing of the skin

Healing skin

Wound healing begins with hemostasis inside minutes after the injury, platelets swarm to collect around the injury site to outline a fibrin clot this stems the bleeding naturally, this is just a temporary determine the area becomes inflamed as the body’s natural defenses like phagocytes and lymphocytes come into play they kill bacteria that effort to get in, and remove dead cells and debris factors are released from cells around the area to commence the process of proliferation.

Here, new blood vessels are formed and collagen hankie laid down this all forms a mass called granulation tissue your epidermis cells replicate and “crawl” on peak of this bed, providing new cover the wound then contracts from beginning to end myofibroblasts, which pull the wound edges and make it smaller.

It doesn’t stop there the wound continue to be remodeled and matured a few cuts heal completely and there is very little scarring to be seen others leave a scar from side to side this healing process a scar regularly takes 12 to 18 months to mature.
