Oh my goodness, I am so sorry to hear that you experienced this! What you need to do is go to your general doc and get a burn cream prescription for (I am running upstairs now to see what it is called....) Silver Sulfadiazine Cram 50gm. While at their office, they will clean it thoroughly for you and check the degree of the burn...and may have to scrape it a little (just warning you). Once it is healed, than you can try the silicone strips and Scarprin gel. Did it work....well, I don't know. Over time the scar does fade, as long as you don't tan it with a bed or the sun (spray tan will cover over it, lol). I can tell you this, it will fade enough that you will not be self conscious about it forever.

Isa8, Al would know better than I since I only received one treatment and it did not end so well...

I found that increasing my weekly workouts and limiting my sugar intake tightened up the skin on my belly from having my boy nicely....as did other area's tighten:)

My advice, save your money on this one if you are looking for long term results. Like Al said, it will feel like a warm massage if done right...and like a massage, it is short term relief between hard workouts.

Thank you all for your comments!!

Thanks everyone for your comments and concern! I finally got American Laser Skincare to agree to refund the entire amount (including the $250.00 that they originally left on my card).

I used the finance company that American offered, Chase Health Advance. I have been disputing the amount with them but, they said that I need to continue to make the monthly minimal payments and handle it with the merchant directly.

So after 3 months of back and forth conversations with the corporate office, I finally recieved an email that they would refund the money on 11/04/2011. Wonder how long it is going to take to actually get it? It is 11/30/2011 today.


It is nice to hear that every experience does not result like mine did! I am still trying to get rid of the big scar. The little one just looks like a dark colored spot now. The big one is still dark pink. I did buy the online scar gel "Scarprin" and use that a couple times a day...fingers crossed!

Hi Britt, Thanks for your comment! I have to tell you something funny that I noticed from the Vella treatment....not the burns...but, the procedure itself is a sucking and heat type of vacuum...I think the little bit of excess skin on my belly was stretched by the sucking of the machine...lol...cause it seems more noticeable to me now than before! UGH, this was a big loose loose! I will keep trying to do the ematrix on my scars but, definitely didn’t notice anything from the one try on the little one.

American Laser Skincare will not only NOT refund my money...they wont even call me back! The doctor reccommended some scar gel that is around $95.00 Ugh.
