hi guys,

i just wanted to let you know about my recent purchase. I bought this product called stem c'rum by dermaheal. It was super-expensive ($500) but when I think about the thousands of dollars I've already spent on other kind of treatments, it doesn't seem like a lot. It came with 6 vials and you are supposed to either perform dermabrasion, laser resurfacing or needling before applying the product to your skin. I've already done one treatment and can notice a significant difference. I would say about a 60% improvement. What I did was use these microdermabrasion pads that I bought on ebay a while back and scrubbed pretty aggressively over my two scars. FYI, they are actually surgical scars that have been extremely hard to treat (lasers/dermabrasion/needling) and if this works on my scars then I figure they've got to help those with acne scars. After I did that, I used my dermastamp to poke tons of holes into the scars as well. Needless to say I was pretty aggressive and the whole area is bright pink right now. I'm not too worried about the pigmentation coming back because it always does and mind you, I have dark skin. I was very aggressive because I wanted to make sure that the stem c'rum would reach the deep dermal layers. The scabs fell off much faster than usual as well. When I usually perform dermabrasion or needling on my scars, the scabs take at least 5 or 6 days to fall off but this time, I performed the dermabrasion and needling and used the stem c'rum on a Wednesday night and the scabs fell off on saturday morning which I felt was very promising from the start. Anyway, I'm not on here often but I just wanted to share my good news with you all because I know a lot of people find something that works for them and then they don't come back to tell us. If you have any questions, I'll try to come back and check often and to answer any that you might have. I can honestly say that I think that the stem C'rum might be the answer I was looking for all these years. I am so shocked by how well and how fast it is working. fyi, i purchased it on the dermaheal website and it is not the "SR" version but the regular stem c'rum. take care everyone

Why post this here? It's got nothing to do with the thread's topic and quite frankly it looks like you're advertizing this "c'rum"?

[sousou_bella]

that's fine if u think I'm advertising because I know that I'm just trying to help ...I wish I did work for them so that I wouldn't have to pay $500 for their product. Also, the reason I posted this here is because I was planning on getting the recell treatment done in London and I have been reading this thread and since the stem c'rum is similar in terms of using stem cell technology and a form of abrasion , I thought someone might be interested. Again , I was just trying to help...I've suffered from depression from my scars and I know how debilitating they can be. These threads have helped me so much..I actually discovered the dermaheal product on this website so I was just trying to give back to you all.

Well then you could have been a bit more clear in your post as now you came across as the person who started this thread who is clearly not just "informing" people out of the goodness of their heart but is advertizing SkinFX. Which is against the rules of this message board but somewhow she is allowed to do so anyway.

[sousou_bella]

is there something I could do to let u know that you're mistaken

[Lapis lazuli]

She isn't advertizing SkinFX? She is taking time out of her day informing people and not expecting anything back? Is that what you really think?

[sousou_bella]

O sorry I misunderstood what you said. I thought you were implying that I was trying to advertise skinfx.

[Lapis lazuli]

O sorry I misunderstood what you said. I thought you were implying that I was trying to advertise skinfx.

No, not you. The poster from Glasgow, called "Recell". She's out here because she wants people to know about SkinFX which is where she works. And there isn't really any other reason even though she claims there is.

i always laugh and cry a little when i see these stem cell creams on the internet. they use the stem cells of apples, pears and god knows what else and say oh this will help your skin. as if an apple stem cell would help us - are we even remotely similar to an apple???. **glares at all of you apple resembling people***

we need not only human stem cells, but our own stem cells and recell seems to provide this - and this is what makes it seem awesome.

i must admit, i was following another user on here who used stem cells on her scars and it helped, but it was nothing extraordinary. i suspect it too would require multiple treatments for severe scarring (burn scars and accident scars, more than acne scarring like ernesto who had wonderful results).

im going to wait until its perfected a little more

If you don't mind my asking, why do you say you are going to wait until ReCell is perfected a little more? Don't you think that Ernesto's results were pretty perfect? I guess I am a little confused as to why you don't find the results satisfactory. Could you please explain this to me?

Thanks.

[midnightmist]

I don't mind u asking. I'd be treating more severe burn scars, much like the accident scar another user on here treated with recall and the co2 laser.

Although its good to be supportive, her improvement in these scars was quite limited considering, the cost of the treatment/ time off required. Given the limited results on more serious scars, I'm sadly forced to wait til something better comes out. That was a difficult decision to come to. In terms of acne scars however, it seems like a good treatment for everyone here.

Oh, okay. That is totally understandable. I did not realize that you are wanting to have a different type of scarring treated, besides acne scarring. Best of luck on your endeavors!

What another user are you talking about? Can you show me the link?

HEY, I know for a fact RECELL plus lasers or dermabrasion or whatever will not DO SHIT!

I know this because I have a friend who recently got a job with AVITA(the company that makes RECELL) and so I asked her to hook me up and if it really worked etc. She said the applications right now are pretty minimal, mostly for pigmentation issues. I asked her how their testing was going for acne scars and if she could at least send me some good before and after pics of recell for acne scars. She said they didn't have shit. Most of the best photos they have are just infllamation response after a few weeks of laser or dermabrasion and the claims of it producing new skin etc. are all just wishful thinking right now.

This makes sense to me. That Zenith clinic has no before/after photos. They've been using this stuff for 2 years in the UK!! Two whole goddamn YEARS!! And you can't tell me there aren't more then like two mediocre photos of acne scar treatment!!!!!????

RECELL DOES NOT WORK.

[waitingforacure]

what about Ernestoria hes had amazing results from recell/fraxel repair for acne scars

I don't think recell should be marketed as something which will actually help scars, rather I think it should be something that takes out a huge portion of risk out of highly ablative procedures. You can do dermabrasion/co2/fractional co2 without many of the risks as doing it without recell (pigmentation/infection/faster healing).

[jennyfung]

I sent an email to ask for more details about Recell in Asia.
There is a branch and staff there but no reply since then
What should I do?

[Star Kim]

Avita ppl suck at getting back to potential clients...Seems like they don't wanna sell their product!

Good morning

Yes there is evidence that ReCell improves ice pick acne scarring. It works by the area being debraded using a diamond headed burr to removes layers of the skin. A small skin sample is taken from behind the ear which is then made into your spray on skin. Once applied dressings are worn for five days. As it is your own cells they multiply in their millions encouraging faster healing as well as giving an improved, smoother textured skin which continues to improve month on month. It does take a good three months for everything to settle down and it can be quite pink over the next 1 - 4 weeks.

I hope that this helps?

Hello! Does Skin FX Clinic still exists? I am having trouble accessing their website..
