This case involves a very sweet 5-year-old girl at the time of her initial visit.
She sustained a burn on her thigh (femoral region) after accidentally coming into contact with a hot iron at home.
Her mother searched online for the most effective treatment method and found information about the Natsui-Style Moist Wound Healing Method. As a result, they chose to visit our clinic for care.
🔹 Treatment Details – Minimal Pain with the Natsui-Style Moist Wound Healing Method
We treated her burn using hydrocolloid dressings as part of the Natsui-Style Moist Wound Healing approach.
-
No disinfection was performed at any point
-
No antibiotics were prescribed, as there was no sign of infection
-
Daily showers and bathing were permitted throughout treatment
Thanks to this method, pain was minimal and healing progressed smoothly, resulting in a very clean recovery.
🔹 12 Years Later – A Heartwarming Reunion
Twelve years later, the same patient—now a lovely 17-year-old high school student—returned to our clinic for a completely unrelated injury (a knee wound).
During her visit, we had the opportunity to examine the previous burn site and were delighted to see that the scar was barely visible.
She kindly allowed us to take a photo (thank you for your permission to publish it).
Seeing her again, now grown and thriving, brought back vivid memories of her at age five.
It was a deeply touching and joyful reunion for me as a doctor.
✅ Summary
The Natsui-Style Moist Wound Healing Method is especially well-suited for treating burns in young children.
It minimizes pain, reduces infection risk, and helps avoid unnecessary procedures like skin grafting.
Even over the long term, this method can lead to exceptionally clean and beautiful results.
If your child has suffered a burn, please don’t hesitate to consult us.
We’re here to provide the most gentle and effective care possible.

After 17 years of running my practice,
I occasionally have the pleasure of seeing patients again after more than a decade.
I’m simply happy that they still remember our clinic,
but some patients walk into the exam room and cheerfully say,
“Doctor! How have you been?!”
Moments like that make me feel truly happy.
