Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it typically take for a wound to heal?
The healing time for a wound can vary depending on several factors, but generally, it should take about two weeks for a wound to start healing. The complete healing process usually takes around four weeks. For some wounds, the entire healing process can take up to 14 weeks or longer. Full maturation of a wound, including scar formation, can take up to a year or even two years. Keep in mind that factors such as age, nutrition, overall health, and the type and severity of the wound can significantly impact healing time. If a wound is not showing signs of improvement within a few weeks, it’s important to consult us.
