How long does it take for the skin to regenerate?

Answer 1

Depends. It takes about a month for an entire new layer of skin to grow back. Your skin has multiple layers though, so if the top layer is destroyed, it will be replaced by the second layer, and so forth.

Answer 2

Depending on the amount of damage done to the skin, it can take anywhere between three days (for light damage to just the upper layers) to approximately two or three months (for damage all the way down to the underlying muscle). The good news is, skin does always grow back, so simply keeping the wounds clean with hydrogen peroxide and sterile bandages will have that skin back to healthy in no time. One should note, however, that nerve tissue is usually damaged permanently, so the area where the skin is missing might never feel the same again.

Answer 3

Skin regeneration depends upon different cases -

Normal - In such cases , dead skin cells are replaced every minute by new skin cells which are again replaced by new cells when they die because each skin cells lifetime is not more than a minute .

Wounds - wounds take comparatively longer time since it kills off large number of skin cells and most of them pierce the upper layer or epidermis , where skin cells cannot form , which is why it takes longer time and scabs form to regenerate a proper epidermal base for the skin cells to regenerate and duration of healing differs upon the deepness of the wound .

[ As people age , repairing speed slows down and decelerates ]
