Burns are one of the most devastating conditions encountered in medicine. This injury is in skin or other tissues, caused by heat-cold, electricity or chemicals [1,2]. There are lots of methods to treat burns and each method has its own advantages, such as medicine, dressing, low-level laser, plasma, skin graft surgery... [3].This study experimented with the 3rd degree burn model in mice by heat, treating by DBD plasma, is a non-invasive treatment and using clinical diagnostic methods by (1) normal image, (2) thermal image, (3) HE staining. Aim of this research is evaluation and comparison the area, temperature and wound healing time of non-invasive treatment with DBD plasma and nontreatment. After 3-week experiment, using diagnostic methods and analysis tools have demonstrated that the 3rd thermal burn wound healing of plasma treatment recovers faster than non-treatment about: (1) Burn wound surface shrinkage rate is higher: ~ 5%; (2) Healing time is faster: 2-3 days; (3) The average temperature of the burn wound is lower: 1-2oC. Therefore, DBD plasma is a potential treatment in burns wound and wound healing in the future. Keywords: DBD plasma, burn wound, healing wound
