More info on Spray on Skin

Hello,

The previous post about Spray On Skin and it's potential to help rosacea sufferers had got me thinking. I searched around the web a bit and I found the website for the company that makes it. You can find it at - http://www.clinicalcellculture.com/

I was thinking about maybe trying to get in touch with these folks to maybe see if they had plans to develop / test their products on rosacea skin.

There was also an interesting quote on the front page of their site that said
"Our proprietary skin replacement products, including CellSpray® and ReCell® offer clinicians a range of options for the treatment of burns, scars, chronic wounds, cosmetic surgery procedures and other types of epidermal trauma."
I like the bit where it mentions "epidermal trauma". Maybe this could hold some hope for us???

Cheers - Trav

Howdy again,

I also found some more info on their site about a product they are developing called "EpiGrow" which also sounds like it may hold some promise for us. (See below)

"EpiGrow® - Research and development of a solution derived from skin cells that could be applied to damaged skin to stimulate cell growth and repair to accelerate wound healing is advanced and may result in a commercially available product in 2007."

Cheers - Trav

Won't the damaged vascular system od rosacea just corrupt the "new skin" again??

[hope]

very interesting. it is important to remember that the "spray on skin" is not like normal skin. it is poreless for example. perhaps the spray on skin would not respond to the underliying vascular problem of rosacea in the same way that natural skin does.

in my own humble opinion, i tend to think that if the spay on skin had no problem permanantly covering up the blackened and blood red chared skin of burn victems, then it would make short work of rosacea. just my opinion.

a doctor should remove your skin first, and then spray. Are you willing to do that?

[hope]

remove your skin!! OK, that's just freaky! but where are you getting your information from? i don't doubt the validity of what you say, but i can not find any info on this on their website

Spray approach is a replacement of skin transplant that is used for burn victims. Think about burned skin. As the skin is totally destroyed, you should remove it and have to transplant new skin that were grown in a lab from a small part of your body skin.
Spray skin is not a cover-up. It's not make-up. It's real skin! I mean, it's not something you spray over your skin and new skin grows on the top of your skin. It doesn't work that way. You can't have two layers of living skin. That's my understanding. Somehow I can't find a site. Sorry.

Hi,
Good post! I will definetly try to call these people. It doesn't sound like it is being used widely yet. It may not be effective for rosacea, but I have a large area of acne scarring on my back and it says it is effective for that. All depends on the price too though.
