This phase happens immediately after burn injury w. Hemostasis followed by a couple days of vasodilation(buildup of cells & proteins to repair)

Inflammatory phase

This phase begins one week after burn injury, there’s an increase in the wound vascularity to provide critical nutrients & oxygen to sustain the metabolism of the healing wound. Deposits collagen.

Proliferative phase

The final phase of wound healing. Increase of strength w/o increase of collagen content (max amt of collagen has been laid down in wound by 3-6 weeks)
