Burn Scar Treatment
Comprehensive Care for Burn Scar Recovery
Burn scars can significantly affect your appearance, comfort, and even mobility. They require specialized treatment for optimal improvement. At The Skin Sensé, we provide comprehensive burn scar care using advanced techniques including laser therapy, surgical revision, and skin grafting to restore your skin's appearance and function.
Understanding Burn Scars
Burn scars form when the skin heals after thermal, chemical, or electrical burns. The severity depends on the burn depth and the body's healing response. Burn scars can affect not only appearance but also function, especially when they form contractures that limit movement.
Types of Burn Scars We Treat
- Hypertrophic Scars – Raised, red scars that stay within the burn boundary
- Keloid Scars – Raised scars that extend beyond the original burn area
- Contracture Scars – Tight scars that restrict movement
- Atrophic Scars – Depressed, thin scars from deeper burns
- Discolored Scars – Hyperpigmented or hypopigmented burn marks
Challenges with Burn Scars
- Visible disfigurement affecting self-confidence
- Tightness and restricted movement (contractures)
- Itching, pain, or sensitivity in scar tissue
- Texture changes affecting daily activities
- Psychological impact on quality of life
Our Treatment Approach
We create comprehensive treatment plans combining multiple modalities for optimal results:
Laser Therapy
Fractional laser resurfacing to improve texture, reduce redness, and stimulate collagen remodeling.
Surgical Revision
Excision and re-closure techniques for severe scars and contracture release.
Injectable Treatments
Steroid injections for hypertrophic scars and fillers for depressed areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
While complete removal may not always be possible, burn scars can be significantly improved in appearance, texture, and function. Modern treatments can reduce scar visibility by 50-80% and greatly improve mobility.
Treatment timing depends on burn severity. Some treatments can begin once the wound has healed (usually 6-12 months after the burn), while others may start earlier. Early intervention can help prevent severe scarring.
The number varies based on scar severity and type. Most patients require multiple sessions, often 3-6 laser treatments or a combination of approaches over several months for optimal results.
Pain levels vary by treatment type. Laser treatments may cause mild discomfort managed with numbing cream. Surgical procedures are performed under anesthesia. We prioritize patient comfort throughout.
We treat all types of burn scars including hypertrophic scars, keloids, contractures (that restrict movement), and discolored scars. Treatment is customized based on scar characteristics and patient goals.
