- Healing Rate [ Time Frame: 3 weeks ]95% epitheliazation as assesses by the investigator
- Freedom from Scarring [ Time Frame: 3 Months ]Vancouver Scar Scale: consists of four variables: pliability, vascularity, height (thickness), and pigmentation. Each variable has four to six possible scores. A total score ranges from 0 to 14, whereby a score of 0 reflects normal skin.
- Reduction in pain [ Time Frame: 3 weeks ]Visual Analog Scale or FLACC Behavioral Pain Assessment Scale:VAS-No pain on left of line, worst pain imaginable on the right of line; FLACC- 0-2, (0 being least uncomfortable to 2 which is very uncomfortable)

- Age ≥ 12 months and ≤ 70 years
Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects meeting any of the following criteria will be excluded:
-
Burns meeting any of the following criteria:
