What changes occur in the skin after a burn
- First degree – only the superficial layer (epidermis) is affected. Typically a sunburn, with mild redness and pain.
- Second degree – both the epidermis and dermis are affected. Blisters, swelling, and intense pain appear. When larger areas are involved, the condition can become life-threatening.
- Third degree – all layers are affected, sometimes including underlying tissues such as tendons, muscles, and bones. This is a life-threatening condition.
What are the consequences
- Necrosis – death of tissue due to the destruction of cellular proteins.
- Edema and fluid loss – due to increased vascular permeability.
- Inflammatory response – release of mediators and free radicals that damage additional cells.
- Infections – local tissue damage weakens the immune defense.
- Systemic response – in severe cases, vital organs may be affected.
Recovery
Recovery проходит through three stages.
- Inflammation
- Proliferation (growth of new cells and tissues)
- Remodeling
From second-degree burns onward, scars often remain, causing not only aesthetic concerns but also physical discomfort.
IMPORTANT
Prolonged and inadequate treatment of sunburn can lead to DNA damage and an increased risk of skin cancer.
Approach at Regenics Medical
At Regenics Medical, we perform a comprehensive analysis of the affected tissues and the patient’s overall condition.
- In severe burns, life-saving measures are the top priority in specialized centers.
- Regenics Medical takes part in the recovery phase, with a strong focus on preventing complications and long-term damage.
Gentle therapies for skin recovery
-
Endoret® (PRGF – Plasma Rich in Growth Factors): used as a regenerative serum for sunburn, as well as for filling deeper defects with fillers and membranes derived from the patient’s own plasma.
-
PlasmaOne™: cold atmospheric plasma that improves blood circulation and protects the area from infections without the need for antibiotics.
-
Fletech™: LED light combined with a photoconverter gel. It accelerates epithelialization (wound closure) and reduces inflammation.
What sets the approach at Regenics Medical apart
- Non-invasive or minimally invasive methods
- Alignment with the body’s physiological principles
- Activation of tissue proliferation and regeneration
- Improvement of blood circulation
- Reduction of the risk of infections
- Prevention of scarring
- Short recovery period (2–3 days)
- No significant side effects
Duration and recovery
- The duration of a single therapy: 45 minutes to 1.5 hours
- When techniques are combined, the duration is extended.
- Recovery usually takes 2–3 days, and rarely up to a week.
- The full recovery process depends on the depth of the burn—from a few days to several months, and in severe cases up to a year.
