Third degree burns means all layers of the skin have been burnt through. In first degree burns only the topmost layer of skin (epidermis) is damaged so it will regenerate easily. In second degree burns both the epidermis and dermis are damaged but healing can still occur. Third degree burns won't heal without a skin transplant.

When grading how much of a body is burnt it's usually done in % of total skin.
