Collagen & Wound Healing
|
When the skin is injured, collagen becomes the common denominator in the body’s healing response. Collagen helps the body heal itself by: preparing the wound bed, balancing wound chemistry, causing cell migration and growth, inducing granulation tissue, and improving overall skin strength. Collagen’s role in these various chemical, mechanical, and biological factors forms an environment conducive to wound healing, and ultimately, to wound closure.
