What's the purpose of a mask after facial burns?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Help with scarring: Deep 2nd-degree burns or 3rd-degree burns that require skin grafting can result in significant scarring. Pressure therapy has been found produce flatter scars, that is, reduce hypertrophic scarring. Pressure garments are thus used in such cases. If the face is involved, that would be a pressure mask or head garment.
