Scar Maintenance after Burn Treatment

It is performed after the acute burn treatment, by which the skin is recovered to its normal function and the appearance of the skin is restored to the best. The condition that the wound is covered with skin by transplantation cannot be considered as the scar is completely healed. To confirm the complete recovery, the scar must be stabilized. As it takes months to years for the regenerated epidermis to function similarly to normal tissues, it is important to ensure that the regenerated epidermis functions the best during this period so that the scars can be stabilized quickly.
