This is often due to limited blood flow which can slow the body's own healing process. Many patients seek professional help for wounds that have not healed after months of standard wound treatment. In the majority of patients, treatment programs produce complete healing, usually with a few months. Wound treatement can include removal of unhealthy tissue, high pressure oxygen therapy and the use of growth factors. The fastest possible healing is achieved through wound treatment programs.
Growth factors can speed and enhance healing of the wound.
