Abstract :

Lasers have wide applications in medicine, especially in the treatment of burn patients. They help heal tissue, reduce pain, and speed up the healing process The use of lasers in the treatment of burns helps to improve the quality of life of patients and reduce the complications caused by burns. The right laser, depending on the type and severity of the injury, requires expert advice. Laser therapy in burn patients is one of the effective methods to heal wounds and reduce side effects caused by burns. Special lasers, such as non-destructive lasers and diode lasers, penetrate deep into the skin and by stimulating fibroblast and collagen cells, they accelerate the process of tissue repair and thus stimulate tissue repair. Also, by reducing inflammation and relieving pain, lasers help patients experience a more comfortable recovery period. Laser therapy can help improve the appearance of wounds and reduce scar tissue. Special lasers such as CO2 lasers can help reduce the thickness and color of scars. By increasing the blood flow in the damaged area, lasers deliver nutrients and oxygen to the cells and help the healing process. With the help of their light waves, lasers generate energy. They transfer to the cells and this energy causes biochemical changes in the cells, which also helps to repair and regenerate the tissue.
