The maturation stage is explicitly defined as the fourth and final stage of the wound healing process [1], [2]. This stage involves critical physiological changes such as collagen remodeling and tissue strengthening that occur as part of the overall wound healing progression [3], [4], [5].

claimThe maturation stage, also known as remodeling, is the fourth and final stage of the wound healing process.
claimThe maturation phase of wound healing features a stabilization of vascularity from the previous stages and involves apoptosis, or programmed cell annihilation, of cells and molecules found in those stages.
claimDuring the maturation phase of wound healing, collagen production continues to restore durability and elasticity to the skin, and a buildup of collagen in the granulation tissue results in new scar tissue.
measurementThe maturation stage of wound healing can last as long as two years after the wound has fully sealed off.
claimThe proliferation stage of wound healing is sometimes referred to as the fibroblastic or granulation stage, while the maturation stage is sometimes called the remodeling stage.

measurementThe maturation or remodeling stage of wound healing begins approximately 21 days after the initial injury and can continue for a year or more, depending on the size and severity of the wound.
claimCollagen fibers are realigned along tension lines during the maturation stage of wound healing, which increases the tensile strength of the healed tissue.
claimDuring the maturation stage of wound healing, the initial type of collagen deposited during the proliferation phase is replaced by a stronger type of collagen through a process of breaking down old fibers and synthesizing new ones.
claimAbnormal scar formation, such as hypertrophic scars or keloids, may occur during the maturation stage of wound healing and may require additional medical intervention.

procedureThe maturation stage of wound healing proceeds in two steps: (1) The body removes cells that are no longer needed for the healing process. (2) Through a process called cross-linking, tissues become stronger and the scar typically becomes thinner.
measurementThe maturation stage of wound healing lasts anywhere from three weeks to two years.
