Typically wounds go through the following healing process:

• Stage 1 — Hemostasis stage (bleeding stops): Proteins in your blood act like glue to make the platelets clump together and stick to the opening in the blood vessel to form a clot and stop bleeding from the wound area.
• Stage 2 — Defensive/inflammatory stage: Blood platelets release special chemicals that cause inflammation, often resulting in swelling and redness around the wound area. This stage often lasts four to six days.
• Stage 3 — Proliferative stage (skin rebuilds): This is when your body starts building new skin cells, which includes providing the wound with oxygen and nutrients it needs to heal properly. Stage 3 can be between four to 24 days.
• Stage 4 — Maturation phase: This final stage of healing mainly consists of the new skin becoming stronger. This final stage can take anywhere from 21 days to two years.
