burn wound healing

Burn wound healing is the natural process your body uses to repair skin damaged by burns. It involves three main stages: First, blood vessels constrict to control bleeding, and the body initiates an inflammatory response to prevent infection. Next, new tissue and blood vessels grow to replace damaged skin, a process called proliferation. Finally, the new tissue matures and strengthens during remodeling. Proper care, such as cleaning, avoiding infection, and sometimes medical treatments like dressings or surgeries, supports efficient healing and reduces complications. The goal is to restore protective skin and return function as completely as possible.
