Wound Healing – Learn here how to help wounds heal fast, safe and with a reduced risk of scarring

As our lives are getting fuller and busier, it seems we’re always on a rush of getting things done. Yet, every day little injuries, like a small paper cut on the finger, or a minor burn while cooking can get into our way and force us to slow down and care. How can you help your skin heal faster and safer to be able to go on with your life? When getting injured, we often expect that the wound will heal quickly and without leaving a mark. However, wound healing is a complex process and many factors can interfere, delaying the wound healing. Learn about the different signs of wound healing and how to help wounds heal fast, safe and with a reduced risk of scarring.

Wound healing is a complex process that can be subdivided into 4 phases..

 

A clean and cleansed wound essential first step for optimal healing. Cleanse your wound from dirt, bacteria and visible particles with the Hansaplast Wound Spray to prevent infections.

 

The second step is to protect your wound from dirt and bacteria to enable and undisturbed healing. Cover your wound with a plaster, sterile wound dressing or compress from Hansaplast.

 

Studies have shown that under moist conditions cells will grow, divide and migrate at an increased rate to optimize the wound healing process. In a moist healing environment, scabs- which inhibit the formation of new tissue – are prevented. This helps reduce the risk of scarring, improving the aesthetic outcome.

• No crust formation
• Faster wound healing
• Reduced risk of scarring

To support and speed up wound healing, apply the Hansaplast Wound Healing Ointment daily until the wound has healed completely and cover it with a Hansaplast plaster, sterile dressing or compress if needed. The ointment forms a protective barrier on the wound while creating an ideal moist healing environment that promotes up to 2x faster healing and helps to reduce scarring. In a clinical study using an Abrasive Wound Model, wounds treated with the Hansaplast Wound Healing Ointment have been proven to heal faster and with a better cosmetic outcome than untreated wounds*.
