2 Figure 1 Wounds made on anagen-phase skin heal faster than those on telogen skin. The scheme depicts wounded skin with the hair follicle in the anagen (a) and telogen (b) phases of the hair cycle. Incisional or excisional wounds made on anagen-phase skin show increased skin periwound hair follicle outer root sheath and interfollicular epidermal proliferation, decreased inflammation, and increased angiogenesis, accelerating the wound healing process.
