When skin is punctured, the body's immediate response is to initiate a healing process. Blood vessels constrict to reduce blood loss, and platelets aggregate at the site to form a clot. Immune cells are then recruited to prevent infection, while growth factors stimulate tissue repair. Over time, new skin cells regenerate to close the wound.
