Burn Treatment

The treatment of burn sequelae combines reconstructive and regenerative resources: skin grafts for damaged areas, laser therapy to improve scar texture, and silicone and compression therapies to prevent hypertrophic scars and keloids.

Goals of the procedure

  • Reconstruct areas of damaged skin, with grafts when indicated

  • Improve scar texture and appearance with resources such as laser therapy

  • Prevent hypertrophic scars and keloids with silicone and compression

  • Integrate early physical therapy into the plan, when indicated

  • Closely monitor every phase of the treatment

Every surgical procedure involves risks. An individual consultation with a plastic surgeon is essential to determine the appropriate treatment for each case.

Frequently asked questions

What patients often ask.

When should I start treating the scars?

Ideally, follow-up should begin early: preventing pathological scars is usually more effective than treating them late. Each phase of healing has its own resources.

Can old burns still be treated?

Yes. Long-standing sequelae can be addressed with surgery, grafts, laser therapy, and other techniques, according to the assessment of each case.

Is the treatment carried out in stages?

Often, yes. The number of stages depends on the extent and depth of the sequelae, with reassessments throughout the process.

Is physical therapy part of the treatment?

Very often, yes — especially to preserve movement in areas near joints. When necessary, the plan is multidisciplinary.

The next step

Discuss Burn Treatment with a surgeon.

The right decision begins with a good conversation. Bring your questions: an individual consultation is the first step of any plan.
