Burn Scars Treatment
Heal & Restore: Advanced Care for Burn Scars
Burn scars can be a constant reminder of past trauma, affecting both physical appearance and emotional well-being. At The Skin Sense Clinic, we understand the unique challenges burn scars present and offer comprehensive, advanced treatments to help restore your skin's texture, appearance, and your confidence.
Understanding Burn Scars
Burn scars form when the skin heals after thermal, chemical, electrical, or radiation injuries. The severity and appearance of scars depend on the depth of the burn, size of the affected area, age, genetics, and how well the initial wound was treated. Burn scars can be raised (hypertrophic), sunken (atrophic), or cause contractures that limit movement.
Types of Burn Scars
Different types of burn scars require specialized treatment approaches. Hypertrophic scars are raised and thick but remain within the original wound boundaries. Keloid scars extend beyond the original injury site and can continue growing. Contracture scars occur when large areas of skin are damaged, causing tightening that can restrict movement. Atrophic scars create depressions in the skin where tissue has been lost.
Why Professional Treatment is Essential
Professional burn scar treatment not only improves appearance but also helps restore function and flexibility. Early intervention can prevent contractures and reduce the psychological impact of visible scarring. Our expert dermatologists provide personalized care to achieve optimal healing and skin restoration.
