Burn Scar Treatment Online Tips

Burn Scar Treatment

Burns are caused by heat, electricity, chemicals, or radiation.

Burns can result in a loss of a large area of skin and the resulting scar will contract, causing the edges of skin to be pulled together, affecting adjacent muscles and tendons and restricting normal movement. These are usually treated with scar removal surgery using a skin flap, or graft and tissue expansion but can also be treated now with a biological skin revival cream.

A burn can also yield abnormal scarring or scars that go beyond the site of injury called keloid scars or it may result in excessively fibrotic scars called hypertrophic scars. Burn-related skin fibrosis leads to loss of tissue function and hypertrophic scar formation with damaging consequences for the burned person.

Acute radiodermatitis are lesions and burns caused by skin toxicity factors in people undergoing radiotherapy for cancer. They cause important loss of life quality for affected patients and cause delays on radiotherapy schedules.

These deleterious effects indicate the need of adequate short-term measures to improve the health of people affected by burns or radiodermatitis or at least to block further deterioration.

Up-to-date therapeutic options to prevent excessive or abnormal post burn scarring or heal adverse effects of radiotherapy are not able to meet the patient’s requirements. For post burn scars due to fire, scalds, electricity or chemicals these include silicon sheets, gels or other silicon products and pressure garments and topical concoctions similar to those proposed for radiodermatitis and include emollients and topic corticosteroids, although the latter are limited to brief periods of treatment due to their potential adverse effects.

Heat, Chemical and Electricity Burns and Radiation induces skin damage and reduces its regenerative capability, adversely affecting the normal capacity of the body to heal wounds. Thus, potential treatment should induce, potentiate and/or accelerate the regenerative capability of damaged skin.


● Release of contractures

● Reduction of postburn keloid scars and hyperthropic scarring

● Strengthening of fragile tissues affected by atrophic conditions (skin that tears or bruises easily)

● Improvement in quality of graft texture and color match and in scar pigmentation
