What treatment options are available for burn victims at medical spas?
A. Burned skin is not as supple and durable, so basic skincare and moisturizers are helpful. Educating patients in caring for affected areas is something that can be done very well in a medical spa environment. Permanent cosmetics, such as tattooed eyebrows, can be a plus for these clients and, because some people with burns on their hands don’t have the dexterity to apply makeup, permanent eye liner can be done for them. Teaching them how to use camouflage makeup is a nice adjunct to these services because it is harder to use than regular makeup. Another simple service is hygiene. Some people with burns have lost flexibility, and just having a pedicure is important because they may not be able to take care of their feet themselves. Hydrotherapy is also good for flexibility. A variety of services can help these clients look and feel better, and also improve their quality of life.
