There's been a couple of instances when werewolves have been known slow down their healing or even stop it. For example, back in S1 when Derek thought Deaton was The Alpha, he wanted to knock Deaton unconscious, Derek told Scott he was going to do this bc that way Deaton wouldn't be able to stop himself from healing. Another situation similar to this is when Peter was first revealed to be The Alpha, he told Derek that he was going to wait, to let his burn wounds heal slower for that dramatic flair but he decided against it and healed the burns within seconds. I imagine Deuc did something similar to that.
