interesting acell application... http://healthyskin.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/7270023352/m/1950092315
t appears they used a natural treatment to remove the scars and get the acell into the skin...although i'm not promoting or condoneing this idea as effective or safe for ENS it is food for though.

I
acell.com - I have mentioned their stuff before. I obtained a small sample of their powdered product. Bottom line...
strong tca then small amount of powder mixed with emu oil and covered with healing film = stretch mark totally healed.
This is a much better method than the sucessful one I outlined in a previous post and I think this is likely to work for a much broader range of people. Problem is obtaining product from acell as their current product is vet grade and I'm not sure they sell to just anyone. The sample I obtained I got via a contact who sadly cannot provide more.
My sample came from a contact that works in a vet office, but i doubt i will be able to obtain more from this source.
The way this stuff works requires that the area to be treated be open, you can't just put it on closed skin. This is where the TCA comes in to prep the area to be treated and the emu oil as well as providing a base for the powder also carries it into the skin. Resolution of treated area is complete. The healed length is like baby skin, and this is consistent with what others have reported. It's like the cellular clock has been reset in that area. Regarding price it should be inexpesnive in terms of production, but not sure what it will actually cost as an end product. It's not actually all that complex to produce, maybe an enterprising biomed student will step forward.

The Acell system is a two step system.
The first is removing the scar tissue, which we have alway emphasized. They use a strong TCA acid and essentially dissolve the scar tissue.
The second step is using the extract of extracellular matrix to stimulate the production of new skin. This may be similar to the use of GHK, since GHK is produced by the breakdown of the extracellular matrix after wounding.

Yep, all very interesting. If you take the time to read through all the literature you will find that it is Badylak himself that proposed integrating ACell with Restylane. Restylane is Hyaluronic Acid (naturally occuring) and actually will not impede the efficacy or signalling ability.
etc etc....

one example he gave me, was that of a dog who had some form of cancer of the stomach, they removed part of the stomach and were able to regrow the part they removed without any incident of cancer; the regrown stomach was fully functional
