Breakthrough Treatment for Burn Scars
Twenty-three-year-old Tatiana’s life was forever changed when an accidental flash explosion from a bonfire set her ablaze. Since the accident, Tatiana has undergone skin grafting to cover the severe burn wounds she sustained, and the resulting scar tissue left her with a limited range of motion in her neck and lips. Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Suzanne Kilmer explains how a new laser technology called SCAAR FX resurfaces and minimizes scar tissue, while giving patients an improved range of motion. And, see the surprise Dr. Kilmer has for Tatiana!
Help for patients with life-altering scars
Kim Phuc knows how scars and the traumatic experiences that cause them can haunt a person for a lifetime. But thanks to a dermatologist’s commitment to treat her scars, Phuc is not only recovering from her infamous wounds but also is helping others like her.
Many know Phuc from an iconic photograph, showing her and her brothers and cousins fleeing from a Napalm bombing in Trang Bang, June 1972. More than 40 years later, Phuc, the crying, naked child in the middle of the black and white image, still lives with scars that cover 65 percent of her body.
“For many years, my heart was full of hatred, and I wanted to give up. Now, I view my picture from that day as a gift, as it provides me with a larger purpose,” Phuc says. “Through my experiences, I have grown to view my journey as a true gift. I have the opportunity to spread my personal story with others to help inspire and assist other children who have been touched by war.”
Phuc started The Kim Foundation International for child war victims, and she was honorary speaker in March this year at the launch of the Restoring Heroes Foundation, a charity focused on providing America’s wounded warriors with access to world-class medical care for physical and emotional trauma. Lumenis helps support the Restoring Heroes Foundation with research and technology, according to Lumenis’s CEO Tzipi Ozer-Armon. And dermatologists, including Jill Waibel, M.D., of Miami, Fla., are providing what is often free care.
BEST (ALMOST ENTIRELY) PAINLESS HAIR REMOVAL
For many, the promise of a permanently stubble-free bikini line simply isn’t worth the wrath of a laser that stings like a box jellyfish. That’s why the Rita Hazan hair salon introduced the Light Sheer Duet (from $150 for each of the recommended six to eight treatments). The laser’s vacuum-assisted technology reduces pain (the hand-piece feels like a suction against the skin, rather than a cauter) while increasing efficiency (it takes only one to five minutes, depending on the body part).

NEW LASER TREATMENT FOR BURN SCARS OFFERS HELP FOR NORTH ROYALTON WOMEN
CLEVELAND, Ohio — On March 20, 2013, Meeta Shah was dry roasting flatbread at the stovetop in her home in North Royalton when a tiny piece of burning food floated up out of the pan and landed on her cotton shirt. In an instant, the shirt was aflame and her daughter, then 8, watched in terror as Shah tried in vain to put out the fire.
Shah, 42, survived. But like most burn patients, she was left with physical reminders of that night: thick, whorled scars from third-degree burns on her chin, neck, chest and armpits, and large patches of scarred and discolored skin on her legs where doctors took grafts to replace what had burned away.
The scars bothered Shah– they were tight and uncomfortable at times and they reminded her of what had happened — but she was feeling well and had decided to accept her altered appearance. After all, what choice did she have?
Then doctors at MetroHealth Medical Center, where she had spent a month recovering from the burns a year ago, recently gave her another option. It’s a laser treatment called the Lumenis Ultra, which can help improve the appearance, texture and thickness of burn scars, with little pain, even years after an injury.

The second step, ResurFX laser, is used to create new collagen to improve skin texture, pore size, and reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles.
