Overview
Burn scars are permanent marks formed on the skin during the healing process after a burn injury. These scars can manifest as discoloration, depressions, raised areas, or contractures (restricted movement) and may impact both physical and psychological well-being. Burn scar treatment aims to reduce the appearance of scars, address functional limitations, and enhance quality of life. Treatment options vary depending on the depth of the burn, the type of scar, and the individual’s skin type.
