Spray On Skin

Spray-on skin for repair of areas that have lost their normal colour through disease or injury

ReCell® is the only product available that enables a surgeon to collect skin cells from the patient and reapply them on a separate area of the body without delay. It can be used for repigmentation and post-operative healing, and for the treatment of burns and other wounds.

The procedure

In ReCell®, specific cells are collected from a small sample of your skin (biopsy) and processed with a natural substance called Trypsin for reapplication upon an area that needs healthy skin cells. The skin cells are sprayed on and can cover a much larger area than the area of the biopsy.

The healing process

A dressing is applied after the procedure. This is usually removed after three to five days. A topical cream may be required at this point, depending on the reason for treatment. Your doctor will advise you about the appropriate action to take.

In patients seeking repigmentation, the improvements will occur slowly over several months as the cells begin to produce melanin.
