Techniques Used by the DermatologistÂ
Debridement:
Debridement can be done to eliminate damaged and unhealthy skin as well as unwanted materials from chronic wounds. The treatment has been found to speed up tissue repair and is considered an important component of wound treatment.
Wound Dressing:
Collagen dressings are available that are most typically used on chronic wounds that are recovering slowly or halted. Wound bandages aid in the protection and healing of the tissue.
Negative Pressure Wound Terapy:
The lesion is covered completely using specific dressings comprised of spongy cloth or cotton in negative pressure wound care. The skin discharges are removed by a compressor attached to the dressings by a tiny tube, which decreases the tension affected skin and increases the blood circulation to the area.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a therapy that boosts oxygen levels in lesions that aren’t responsive to previous therapies. Individuals who participate in HBOT breathe pure oxygen in a purpose-constructed pressure chamber.
Skin Grafts:
This therapy is advised for large injuries. It entails the transplantation of skin grafts from other regions of the body, most commonly the legs, into the wound location. This speeds up the healing of wounds that haven’t recovered properly.
Recovery:
The recovery period depends on the technique used by the skin specialist. It varies for each person as everybody has a different healing capability and immune system. After the treatment, the doctor gives an estimated time for healing. A list of guidelines is also provided on how to care for the wound to pace up the healing process and avoid any complications.
