description We report a severe scalding case with an affected skin area of 30–40% of the body surface. The patient suffered from severe itching and pain in the hypertrophic scar parts even 1.5 years after the accident. Treatment with acoustic wave therapy almost daily during the first treatment cycle was able to significantly reduce the discomfort. On representation after 1 year, the skin condition showed significant improvement. The second treatment cycle brought further improvement. At the last check-up 2 years later, the patient was free of complaints.
