The presence of burn marks serves as a permanent reminder of unpleasant damages. Skin discoloration can be seen on the face, neck, hands, and legs. In some way or another, we’ve all been burned.
Types of Burns and Scars
Hypertrophic Scars – When collagen is deposited above the skin, the result is a hypertrophic scar. It causes the skin to turn red or blue and raises the temperature above the optimal range. The majority of these scars itch.
Keloid Scars – A Keloid is formed when the production of collagen exceeds that of hypertrophic scars. A lump or lesion forms on the skin in these scars. Shiny texture and fibrous bumps distinguish them.
Contracture Scars – Contracture scars cause permanent scarring of the tissues by tightening the skin (and occasionally even the muscles). A scar from a post-burn contracture can also limit our capacity to move our muscles and bones.
How Does Laser Therapy Aid in the Removal of Scars from Burns and Injuries?
One of the most prevalent and highly recommended procedures is laser scar removal. Phototherapy is used in this non-invasive procedure. The injured skin cells are repaired using narrow and regulated laser beams. It increases collagen production and significantly lowers the appearance of scars. The scar laser therapy is done in numerous sessions and has no significant adverse effects.
What Kind of Outcome Can You Expect?
Although laser treatment may be beneficial for practically all types of burn scar treatments, it does not guarantee that each scar will be completely removed. Although some scars cannot be entirely eliminated, their appearance can be reduced.
