A Case Report of Fourth‐Degree Facial Burns Treated With Modified Traditional Chinese Medicine Combined With Laser Therapy

This case report demonstrates the successful management of a 42‐year‐old male with fourth‐degree facial burns using an integrated approach combining modified TCM and laser therapy. Following 12 months of combined treatment and 18 months of follow‐up, the patient exhibited no evidence of scar hyperplasia or subcutaneous adhesions. This therapeutic strategy synergizes the systemic regulatory effects of TCM with precision laser technology, offering a clinically reproducible approach with significant translational potential. Our findings underscore two critical principles: (1) scar prevention supersedes corrective treatment, and (2) optimal scar outcomes originate from meticulous initial wound management. The case substantiates that comprehensive resolution of wound necrosis (“decay”) yields superior long‐term results compared to expedited wound closure alone.
