The different stages of wound healing [31]. Copyright 2020, The Royal Society of Chemistry. The stages of wound healing include hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. After the skin injury, hemostasis begins. Platelets play a role in preventing blood loss. Then, neutrophils and monocytes play a role in preventing infection during the inflammation. The proliferation phase includes the formation of blood vessels and granulation tissue. Finally, myofibroblast further remodels the matrix during remodeling phase.
