During the time when he controlled the Source of [[Traken]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Keeper of Traken (TV story)|The Keeper of Traken]]'') [[the Master]] was able to use the Source to heal his injuries in place of regenerating, noting that this process was far smoother than regeneration as it avoided sacrificing the healthy tissue in the process, although this method eventually proved short-term when he expended the last of the Source.

The regeneration process could also be delayed to allow healing. The [[Second Doctor]] was shot in the head when confronted by guards on [[Skybase]], causing damage to his skull and frontal lobe; and the subsequent fall broke his nose, jaw, right femur, and collarbone, along with some spine damage. He began to regenerate, but an injection of [[Shiner]] DNA delayed the regeneration and kept him alive long enough for his body to go into a six-month healing coma to recover on its own, although he was briefly certain that he had regenerated when he woke up. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Indestructible Man]]'') When the [[Seventh Doctor]] deliberately affected himself with [[light wave sickness]] to save the [[Spiridon (species)|Spiridons]] from the Daleks, he briefly believed that he was going to regenerate until he retreated to the TARDIS, his body spending some time fighting between its cellular paralysis and natural desire to regenerate until it | The regeneration process could also be delayed to allow healing.

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Return of the Daleks (audio story)|Return of the Daleks]]'') The Twelfth Doctor managed to delay regeneration after being electrocuted by a Mondasian Cybermen, attempting to allow himself to recover without the need for such despite struggling to walk. However, his subsequent injuries in the [[Battle of Floor 0507]] forced him into the "state of grace" where he had to decide whether he would regenerate or die.

When his [[Binary vascular system|second heart]] was extracted by [[Sabbath]] and placed in Sabbath himself, the stolen heart created a link between the [[Eighth Doctor]] and Sabbath that rendered the Doctor essentially immortal; as his second heart was still beating in Sabbath's chest, the Doctor could survive normally fatal injuries, such as having his chest crushed by sandbags or being stabbed in his remaining heart, without changing, although he would go into a near-death state until his body could heal. However, it was unspecified if there were any limits to this connection- the Doctor only needed to use it when he and Sabbath were on the same planet at the same time in the same city- and the connection was lost when Sabbath tore the Doctor's heart out of himself.
