Effective Burns Treatment

Burns Treatment Plastic Surgery Options for Burn Relief and Scar Management

• Silver dressings are essential in the early stages of burn treatment. These dressings are armed with potent antibacterial properties, reducing the risk of infection, alleviating pain, and accelerating wound healing.
• For severe, deep burns that extend beyond the superficial skin layers, skin grafting is a vital surgical solution. This procedure involves harvesting healthy skin from one area (the donor site) and transplanting it onto the burn wound.
• Collagen dressings play a significant role in later-stage burn treatment, focusing on scar management and aesthetic improvement.
• Contractures occur when scar tissue tightens and restricts movement. Effective management involves various techniques, such as physical therapy to improve flexibility and surgical procedures to release tight scar tissue.
