Preventing burn scars

The development of a scar after a burn cannot be completely prevented. However, you can reduce the risk of abnormal scarring, reduce the visibility of the scar and relieve skin complaints. You can do this by taking good care of the burnt skin with a good scar cream.

Scars after burns

Normally, your outermost layer of skin (the epidermis) ensures a good moisture balance. In the case of a burn, this layer of skin is damaged, causing too much moisture to escape.

Moisture is so important for a beautiful healing of your burn scar. Without moisture, the scar dries out, your skin starts to flake and you can suffer from itching. As a result, more scar tissue is produced, which results in a more visible scar.

How should you take care of your burn?

Did you get a burn? For example, after setting off fireworks or boiling water? Then read what you can do yourself in case of a burn in 3 steps.

Below we explain how a scar cream can help you with a favorable recovery and good care of a possible scar.

Treating a burn scar with a scar cream

A good scar cream has 2 crucial properties:

1. The cream moisturises
2. The cream retains the moisture

Many scar creams do moisturise, but do not close the skin. Then the moisture will quickly evaporate and the cream will be of no use to you. By taking over the function of the outer layer of the skin and thus closing off the skin, a good scar cream restores the moisture balance in your skin.

You will notice the difference:

• There is less (abnormal) scarring
• You suffer much less from itching
• Your scar skin is much more supple
• Your skin is at less tension, 'pulls' less and is therefore less painful
• Your skin doesn't flake
• The discoloration of the skin decreases. A burn usually involves a red discoloration, but there can also be a white burn or a burn that is a bit darker.
