The former ‘Tonight Show’ host was injured after an explosion occurred while working on a clogged fuel line on his 1907 White Steam car.
He had skin graft surgery last week. His doctor, Dr. Peter Grossman, explained he had a skin graft that wasn’t his own, meaning the hospital’s skin was in his skin bank from donor skin.
The Grossman Burn Center shared a photo of the TV personality looking in good spirits after being released from the hospital.
You can see from the picture that his neck and chin are badly burned, but the scars are healing. His hands are also scarred and discolored.

According to the FDA, hyperbaric oxygen therapy “involves breathing 100% (pure) oxygen while in a special chamber called a hyperbaric chamber. The air pressure inside is raised to a higher level than normal air pressure. The increased air pressure in the chamber helps the lungs collect more oxygen. Getting more oxygen to tissues that need it can help the body heal and fight certain infections.”
New video footage shows Leno’s left arm wrapped in a white bandage up to the elbow while his entire right hand is wrapped. His whole face was wrapped in gauze.
Leno can be seen wearing a blue hospital gown and chatting with his nurse’s attendant. He is animated and moves his hands in a circular motion.
