The maturation phase can last for a year or longer, similarly depending on wound type. [28] As the phase progresses, the tensile strength of the wound increases. [28] Collagen will reach approximately 20% of its tensile strength after three weeks, increasing to 80% after 12 months. The maximum scar strength is 80% of that of unwounded skin. [57]
