    Has anyone heard of this? It's called ReCell. I just discovered it and it's pretty amazing. Normally burn victims would have to wait weeks or months for the skin to heal. With the spray on skin it takes less than a week. Usually they ar eleft with nasty scars that will never go away. Replacing the skin at that speed reduces the scaring dramastically. Most patients don't even have scars at all, it looks like nothing happened. From what I understand they take skin cell samples from the patient and spray them on the burned area. This had me thinking couldnt they use this technology to remove tattoos, stretch marks, unwated birthmarks anything basically? It's still undergoing development and isn't officially approved, but it's really quite an amazing step for burn victims.

    Here's a before and after picture of a toddler who had the spray on skin done.
