Spray-On Skin: The Next A-List Craze?
You can’t fail to have seen the headlines this week about the burns victime toddler who life was changed by a treatment called Recell Spray On Skin.
Zed Merrick, from Ulceby in Lincolnshire, suffered second degree burns on his chest and stomach four months ago after knocking over a cup of tea.
Surgeons at Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield treated the burns by spraying his own healthy skin cells on the affected area. They used the Recell Spray On Skin kit from Avita Medical.
The cosmetic surgery industry has been buzzing about Recell for a while now, so it’s great that it’s finally making it into the newspapers and into the mainstream.
ReCell Spray On Skin has been developed by Avita Medical to treat burns, wounds, uneven skin and to improve the look of scars. It works by harvesting a patient’s keratinocytes and melanocytes, the building blocks of skin cells, and putting them in a suspension solution that allows them to multiply. Because the cells are from the same patient, there is no risk of rejection or disease.
I can see this treatment becoming the next big A-List beauty secret. Think of all those stars as famous for their awful skin as they are for their movies, music and fashion sense. Once their inches of make-up have been taken off Cameron Diaz, Victoria Beckham, Zac Efron, Heidi Montag and Britney Spears are amongst some of the biggest names who have had their scarred, spotty and damaged skin exposed to the world. Why wouldn’t they start asking their clinic’s to give them a permanant solution to their skin problems?
There’s bound to be huge interest in Recell Spray On Skin – not least by these A-Listers. Of course, as the case of two-year-old Zed Merrick shows, the treatment is also a lifeline to people terribly injured by burns. See more on Recell by clicking now!
