Group Intervention Description Skin Graft Burn Patients Experimental Site Synochi Scar Spray Cosmetic Both placebo and active cosmetic scar spray will be applied to different parts of the same scar on each participant. The active and the placebo spray will both be applied to the designated area of each scar twice per day. The amount sprayed will cover the designated area of the scar and then be massaged into to scar and surrounding skin with each application. This will be done twice daily for the nine-month duration of the study.
