How Does the Dermis Heal?

The healing process of the dermis involves several overlapping stages:
1. Hemostasis: Blood clotting occurs immediately after injury to prevent excessive blood loss.
2. Inflammation: Inflammatory cells clean the wound of pathogens and debris.
3. Proliferation: Fibroblasts and keratinocytes proliferate to form new tissue.
4. Maturation: Collagen fibers are reorganized to strengthen the newly formed tissue, and excess blood vessels that are no longer needed regress.
