Treatments for Post-Burn Hypertrophic Scars
Hypertrophic scars (HSs) occur within weeks after burns, rapidly increase in size for 3–6 months, and then, after a static phase, begin to regress. The full maturation process may take up to 2–5 years. In the treatment of post-burn HSs, indication of trea
