What is a Full Thickness Burn?

The skin is made up of the epidermis (outer layer), dermis (second layer), and subcutaneous (fat and muscle; third layer) tissues. Burns may be grouped based on how deep the tissue is burned. They may be grouped into superficial, partial thickness, or full thickness burns.

A full thickness burn is a skin injury commonly caused by exposure to a very high temperature for a long time.

A full thickness burn occurs when all layers of the skin have been burned. This may also include damage to the bones and muscles. A full thickness burn is the most serious type of burn and scars usually form. This often causes serious injuries inside the body and some of these injuries may not show on the skin.

People have different skin types. Some people's skin scar more than others.


Full thickness burns, sometimes called third-degree burns are usually catastrophic injuries. These injuries can be life changing.
