As soon as a wound goes beyond the surface layer of the skin and reaches the dermis, the healing process starts to close the breach, limiting the loss of substances and the risk of infection for the body. Most often without concern for someone in good health, it can fail due to conditions such as poor circulation or diabetes.
The normal healing
It always follows the same sequence. First step, immediate, the interruption of the bleeding, with blood platelets in the main role, which promote vasoconstriction, release coagulation factors, stimulate clot formation from fibrin or attract inflammatory cells to the wound.
The inflammatory reaction, which lasts 2 to 3 days, is also triggered as soon as the wound appears, with the arrival of leukocytes, including macrophages which will release a quantity of enzymes, mediators, and launch the wound cleansing phase by elimination bacterial residues, dead cells and fragments etc..essential to allow the budding phase.
The fibroblasts which produce collagen and the other components of the extracellular matrix will then gradually fill up the wound, while new blood vessels are formed. Last step, the keratinocytes of the epidermis will migrate from the edges of the wound and converge to cover it a little. A recent scar should never be exposed to the sun, as it can then become permanently pigmented.
Magnetic therapy and collagen
Magnetic therapy, best known for its analgesic action, can also contribute to better healing. Indeed, the static magnetic field of the magnet stimulates the secretion of collagen type I, that is contained in the dermis.Concretely, the magnets must be placed in the immediate proximity of the wound, with a north polarity on one side and a south on the other, by multiplying the number of pairs of magnets if necessary.
