Simple healing of a wound is a function of four sequential but by no means entirely distinct phases:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b> Hemostasis Phase (Minutes to Hours)<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there is trauma, the body&#8217;s initial response is to stop bleeding. The vessels narrow and the platelets clump and form a plug. The plug is reversible and a cell matrix where the incoming cells come to rest.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><b> Inflammatory Phase (1-5 Days)<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Macrophages and neutrophils (white blood cells) migrate into the wound at this stage to kill bacteria and debris through phagocytosis. They also release cytokines and growth factors, which stimulate fibroblasts to migrate into the wound, initiating the next phase of healing.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><b> Proliferative Phase (3-21 Days)<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It includes three significant processes:<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Granulation: New capillaries are formed (angiogenesis), and fibroblasts release collagen to form granulation tissue.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contraction: The edges of the wound are drawn towards one another to reduce the size of the wound.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Epithelialization: Epithelial cells migrate over the wound surface to restore the protective layer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><b> Remodeling Phase (21 Days to 2 Years)<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collagen is remodeled, and the tissue of the wound becomes stronger.
