| Resumo: | Approximately 1 million people suffer burns every year, they cause partial or even total damage to the skin. Scars caused by the type of injury mentioned make patients resort to treatments that improve the appearance of the scars. Microneedling, also known as percutaneous collagen induction, preserves the epidermis and reorganizes collagen fibers, normalizing the appearance of the injured tissue. Therefore, the work aims to identify, through a literature review, the benefits and results of the use of the microneedling technique in scars of burn victims, through dermatofunctional physiotherapy. Thus, this study is a literature review, through a survey in which studies were sought to prove the effectiveness of the microneedling technique. According to the results presented in this study, positive results of microneedling were observed in burn scars. Therefore, although microneedling presents itself as a new technique in the market, it is noted that it has been gaining space and proving to be promising and effective in the treatment of burn scars, promoting the improvement of the aesthetic aspect, as well as the patients' self-esteem. |
