The proliferative stage of wound healing proceeds in three steps: (1) The wound is filled with new cells forming granulation tissues, which are pink or red and uneven in texture, while new blood vessels form to supply oxygen and nutrients. (2) The body defines the outside edge of the wound as granulation tissues pull the edges together. (3) The wound is layered with epithelial cells to cover the surface.
