What is ReCell® Spray-On Skin™ ?
ReCell® is an innovative device and procedure used for the treatment of a wide range of wounds, burns, scars and skin defects. The technology enables a surgeon to collect a very small sample of your own skin and to re-apply these skin cells in spray form to an affected area.
The ReCell® Spray-On Skin™ procedure
The ReCell® procedure is rapid and remarkably simple. The procedure generally occurs in an operating theatre under anaesthesia, although the option of local anaesthetic can be discussed with your doctor.
A small sample of skin, approximately the size of a postage stamp, is collected from an area close to the skin region to be treated to ensure that as the new skin regrows the treated area has the same colour and texture as the surrounding skin.
While the surgeon is preparing the area to be treated, the collected skin will be placed into the ReCell< ® kit. TheReCell® kit seperates, isolates and reactivates the patient’s skin cells. This mix of healthy, activated cells is then sprayed onto the wound area or region of skin to be treated.
Once sprayed onto the affected area, the patient’s healthy cells enter into a phase of rapid growth, proliferation and migration, rapidly covering the affected area and reconstructing a ‘new’ skin that matches the surrounding tissue in texture and colour. This will take around 30 minutes.
In other words,ReCell® allows the regeneration of an entirely new sheet of healthy and unblemished skin which is rapidly grown over the wound using the patient’s own skin cells. Amazing!
Recovery from ReCell® treatment
Following the procedure, the treated area and biopsy site will be covered with a dressing and must be protected from direct sun and physical impact for a period of approximately 5-7 day, depending on the reason for treatment with ReCell®. After this period the dressing will be removed by your doctor or clinic nurse. Your doctor will give you advice concerning what creams you are allowed to use, how much you can expose the treated area to the sun and what you should expect after the treatment.
