Innovative Laser Therapy Gives Burn Survivors New Hope for Recovery
When it comes to managing the painful and restrictive scars left behind after burn injuries, treatments have come a long way. What was once limited to at-home care and bedside routines, such as scar massage, silicone bandages and compression garments, has now expanded into advanced laser therapy that can significantly improve both function and comfort.
“Scar massage and compression therapy are still useful tools, but we now have far more effective options to address the deeper problems caused by hypertrophic scarring,” Alan Pang, M.D., burn and trauma surgeon at Texas Tech Physicians, said. “These scars can be painful, itchy and even limit mobility. Our laser procedure offers real relief.”
