At Anupama Hospitals, we provide advanced burns treatment with expert care for minor to severe burn injuries. Our experienced burn care specialists offer emergency treatment, advanced wound management, skin grafting, and reconstructive procedures using modern technology and specialized facilities.

Types of Burns We Treat
Our burns treatment hospital in Hyderabad provides specialised care for all types and degrees of burn injuries. Understanding the degree of your burn helps our specialists determine the most effective treatment plan for every patient.
First Degree Burns
Affecting only the outer skin layer, first degree burns cause redness and minor pain, typically healing within 7 to 10 days with proper wound care and medication.
Second Degree Burns
Damaging both skin layers, second degree burns cause blistering and intense pain, requiring advanced wound care, infection control, and sometimes skin grafting for complete recovery.
Third Degree Burns
Destroying all skin layers and underlying tissues, third degree burns require emergency care, surgical debridement, skin grafting, and long-term reconstructive treatment to restore function and minimise scarring.
Chemical Burns
Caused by acidic or alkaline substances, chemical burns require immediate decontamination, specialised wound care, and surgical treatment to prevent further tissue damage and promote safe recovery.
Electrical Burns
Causing both external and internal tissue damage, electrical burns require comprehensive assessment, emergency stabilisation, and surgical intervention to address all visible and underlying injuries effectively.
Services Provided by Anupama Hospitals for Burn Treatment
At Anupama Hospitals, we specialize in the full spectrum of burn care. From initial emergency care to post-recovery rehabilitation, our burn treatment services cover every aspect of recovery to help patients heal physically and emotionally.
Initial Burn Treatment and Emergency Care
When you first experience a burn, immediate care is crucial to reduce pain, prevent infection, and stop the burn from worsening. In the emergency department, we provide the following care for burn victims:
- Pain management through medication
- Cooling the burn area with clean, cool water or cold compresses
- Assessment and stabilization of vital signs to prevent shock or dehydration
- Wound cleaning to remove debris and prevent infection
For severe burns, we ensure that IV fluids are administered promptly to maintain hydration and prevent shock. Monitoring vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels is essential to stabilize the patient.
Burn Wound Care
The treatment of burn wounds is critical for preventing infections and promoting faster healing. We follow a structured approach to wound care, which includes:
- Debridement (removal of dead tissue) to prevent infection
- Dressing the burn wounds with the appropriate bandages or skin grafts to protect the wound and promote healing
- Topical medications such as antibiotic ointments or silver sulfadiazine to prevent infections
In more severe cases, we perform skin grafting to cover areas where the skin has been damaged beyond repair.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery for Burns
Severe burns often leave behind visible scars or result in the loss of functionality in joints and muscles. Plastic surgery is a key component of burn care to restore the appearance and function of the affected areas. Some of the surgical procedures we offer include:
- Skin grafts to cover large areas of burned skin with healthy tissue from another part of the body
- Flap surgery for reconstructing areas where a large portion of skin is lost
- Scar revision surgery to improve the appearance of burn scars, especially in visible areas like the face or hands
- Contracture release surgery to restore mobility and flexibility in burned joints or muscles
Our team of burn specialists works with skilled plastic surgeons to ensure that your recovery is as effective and comfortable as possible.
Burn Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy
Burns can cause contractures and decreased mobility as the skin heals, especially if the burns are over joints. After the burn wounds are treated, rehabilitation and physical therapy play a vital role in restoring strength, flexibility, and joint mobility. Our rehabilitation services include:
- Stretching exercises to improve flexibility and prevent contractures
- Strengthening exercises to rebuild muscle strength and endurance
- Scar massage and silicone therapy to reduce scar tissue formation and improve the appearance of scars
- Psychological support and counseling to help cope with the emotional impact of burn injuries.
Psychological Support and Counseling
Burns can leave lasting emotional scars in addition to physical injuries. Our dedicated psychiatrists and psychologists provide counseling and support to help patients and their families cope with the emotional and psychological challenges associated with burn recovery. We offer services such as:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help patients manage stress and anxiety
- Support groups for patients and families to share experiences and emotional support
- Pre-surgical counseling to help prepare patients mentally for surgery and recovery
