Slow-healing wounds aren't just skin-deep — they often signal poor blood flow beneath the surface. At Vascular & Vein Center, we treat the cause, not just the wound, helping you heal faster, avoid complications, and reduce the risk of ulcers and amputation.
Most non-healing wounds trace back to a circulation problem underneath the skin — not just the wound itself.
Narrowed or damaged arteries reduce blood flow, so wounds get less oxygen and fewer nutrients to heal properly.
Weakened veins let blood pool in the legs, causing swelling, skin changes, and open sores known as venous ulcers.
A wound that stays open longer is more likely to become infected — which makes it even harder for the body to heal.
Slow-healing wounds can affect anyone, but your risk may be higher if any of these apply to you.
High blood sugar can damage nerves and blood vessels, making wounds slower to heal.
Including peripheral artery disease (PAD) or vein disease affecting circulation in the legs.
Tobacco use narrows blood vessels and significantly slows the body's healing response.
A history of leg swelling, varicose veins, or blood clots increases your risk of a non-healing wound.
Early management of slow-healing wounds reduces amputation risk by up to 85%.
