How to speed up the healing of post-surgical wounds
23 April 2026
After a surgical procedure, proper wound management is decisive for a quick and complication-free recovery. Let's look at why some wounds heal more slowly and how to support the process naturally.
Why do some wounds struggle to heal?
Several factors slow down the healing process: diabetes, advanced age, nutritional deficiencies, bacterial infections and poor tissue oxygenation. In diabetic patients in particular, wounds tend to heal much more slowly because of reduced blood circulation.
The phases of wound healing
The healing of a wound occurs in three main phases:
- Inflammatory phase - the body cleanses the wound of bacteria
- Proliferative phase - the cells multiply to close the wound
- Remodelling phase - the tissue consolidates and the scar forms
How to support healing naturally
Medical devices based on natural active ingredients, such as essential oils enriched with ozone, support tissue regeneration. They form a protective film over the lesion, reduce the risk of infection and relieve pain.
Practical tips
- Keep the wound clean and moist
- Avoid direct exposure to the sun
- Follow the physician's instructions scrupulously
- Use CE-certified and clinically tested products
Proper wound management in the first hours after surgery is essential to reduce recovery times and prevent complications.
