What this site is for
It exists for one purpose: to let a patient tell an expected reaction from a burn, and to make the findings that need immediate care unmistakable. That is why the emergency routing sits above every explanation on this page, and why depth — the judgement that decides everything that follows — is explained in plain terms rather than assumed.
What it deliberately does not do
It does not name brands of devices or products: technologies are described by class only. It does not quote prices, settings, wavelengths or energy levels, because a setting is a clinical decision rather than patient information. It does not suggest that lost pigment can be restored or that a scar can be removed, and it does not publish an emergency telephone number, a room number or opening hours of its own.
The facts kept visible
Three facts are repeated wherever they are relevant. Depth decides everything that follows, and skin that is white, leathery or numb has lost its surface and needs immediate assessment. Loss of pigment after a burn may not recover, which is why prevention carries more weight here than repair. And a scar is treated after it has matured, not while it is still forming.
How the content is reviewed and corrected
Ke He, MD, Deputy Director and Head of Skin & Laser Aesthetics, is the responsible physician. Every guide is reviewed against her clinical judgement before publication and reviewed again on a six-month cycle. If you find something unclear, out of date or wrong, the contact page explains how to tell us, and corrections are made to the page itself.
