How is ReCell used to treat burns, scalds and other wounds?
Burns generally heal with the growth of skin from the edges of a wound or by the formation of scar tissue (collagen) from within the wound itself. Research has shown that a wound that can heal itself in a short period (within 10 days) has less scarring than a wound that takes longer to heal. The application of healthy skin cells can reduce the time a wound takes to heal and therefore improve the quality of the skin. The application of colour skin cells (melanocytes) may also result in more normal coloured skin.
