Skin Gun by Jorg c. Gerlach
Heard about this from Caitlin (who "heard" about it from Aaron Berger) after I mentioned covering burns in my anatomy class.
I am incredibly excited by the possibilities of this Skin Gun. I'd like to find a way to get my hands on the details of their experiments and clinical trials. The video mentions more than a dozen people who've been treated successfully. My hang up is on the english language. Does that mean that they've only tried it a dozen times and had 100% success. Or that there are only 12 people who this has actually helped?
It's a very promising and positive new treatment. Plus it's rather fast. About 90minutes to prep the skin, make the batch, and spray the person down. Apparently there's some level or results in about 4 days.
There's also no mention of how soon after being burned some one can receive this treatment and still have a positive out come. I was assuming that it had to be pretty close to the time of the burn.
And if you can get the technology to the point that it could regenerate the burned skin of even the oldest burn, what are the implications then? Would it possible to never age if the spray could return the skin to it's origional or at least a better elasticity than before? The future is here friends!
Needless to say, I'm completely intrigued.
