A burn is defined as a thermally induced traumatic injury to organic tissue. The most often reported thermal injuries in children under the age of 16 were scalds and contact burns. In this case study, the usefulness of low level laser therapy was examined in relation to pediatric scald burn wounds, taking into account how it affected wound bed preparation, and time to grafting. A 1 year old male child with scald burns over 20% body surface area received low level laser therapy once per week for a total of four sessions. Low level laser therapy was found to help in better wound bed preparation, and early grafting. We conclude that low level laser treatment can be used as an adjunct to treat paediatric scald burns successfully.
