The management of full-thickness severe burns is an important issue from the medical point of view, especially when the autologous skin is not able to engraft on the wound area and, in turn, to induce its re-epithelialization. As a consequence, the wound healing process occurs slowly, by second intention leading to an increased formation of scar tissue. The delay in wound healing leads to a longer management of the patient, increasing inconveniences and increasing the costs for the health system. In addition, comorbidity factors of the patients such as diabetes, infections or its elderly age can also affect the healing process.

With the aim to improve the wound bed as well as the healing time, we decided to test photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) as a new practice for the burn-care treatment. The results here reported show its effectiveness in the promotion of wound healing leading to faster and better final aesthetic results.
