Sunogel is operatiing out of a strip mall.....google map it! God this thread started almost 11 years ago.....people who were 20 are now 31.....lol! Carrie Underwood while not having acne scars just had a bad accident and got her face scarred.......maybe if Skin TE wants to prove their products work there is no better person to try it on.

Don't remind me how old I got waiting for a solution ;-(

Pretty sure I'm a better cheaper guinea pig, if anyone thought they could try SkinTE for a cosmetic case :|

We've already heard just that. What does that little scar thing they say in the end prove? Scar can mean any medically deforming and functionally prohibitive condition.
PS. They don't even have anything to show for their reconstructive trials.

It's April 2018 and there's not much to report I see. SkinTE should have something concrete to present us by now I would think. I don't want to be pessimistic but I would assume they have yet to achieve desired results. Sunogel also is stalling because of funding. There's also not much to report from Cotsarelis' team who last year claimed to eliminate scarring in open wounds. Others continue to develop new treatments that reduce scar tissue but that do not eliminate it completely. The treatments are costly and many do not see much improvement.

It would be nice to rid myself of all these pitts and white scars on my body one day. The result of my constant battle with folliculitis and acne over the years.

I also do not see a functional acne cure as of yet. Accutane is being prescribed at alarming rates but dermatologists do not seem to emphasize on the side effects. I would assume that in today's world where everyone wants to look their best, someone would have developped a special cream to put on scars and let the skin regenerate to its previous state. There are people waiting for years to rid themselves of horrific scars due to illness or trauma. Also, this forum has been around for 10 years and nothing has been developped yet to eliminate scarring.

I would assume eliminating scarring comes last in priorities. There are more important things to do such as finding a cure to cancer.

I'm one of the people waiting since 2007. I legit stopped coming to this page a few weeks ago and just
stopped giving a shit. Then hope brought me here again and just the same old tired crap about
no pics or results from the companies. Yeah, this shit won't be sorted out till 2030 --that's when I've heard we might be more of a quantum leap ahead in the technology needed. We're nowhere close --its not just acne scars --this would be the holy grail of rejuvenation. Polarity TE doesn't have that kind of technology. Just not possible cause someone else would have it too.

when everybody waited for more than 10 years with no guarantee of a company doing this
then why we cant wait 1 or 2 months more to see polarityTe achievement
they said on FEB 5 press release that human application of skinTe yielding outcome same as in preclinical models...

if a company reduce your scar to 1/10th size making it a margin line just than whats the problem ? it will still be cosmetically acceptable more than those lasers..
small scars will vanish by this
large scars become invisible..
keep hope for 1 or two more months..we will see what skinTe achieved....

I would give SkinTE till the end of summer. What I would like to see would be an acne cure in the meantime to prevent scarring in the first place. As for now, my pitts keep staring back at me when I look in the mirror.

people arnt suffering from only acne scars
scars form from various things such as chicken pox..Accident .surgery..infections etc
so its better to find a cure for scar rather than acne

Scars are not a disease so there's no cure to be found. They are a natural part of the healing process. This is how our bodies heal, everytime we get a skin injury, our body must repair itself as quick as possible to prevent infection. Scar tissue on the skin is an overgrowth of collagen which leads to raised scars or not enough collagen which leads to atrophic scars like chicken pox or acne. Problem is that our skin has basket weave pattern and scar tissue is only aligned in one direction which makes it of inferior quality. So when you speak of a cure to scarring, such thing will never exist. It's more cosmetic however it can become problematic for people with pronounced disfigurement.

there is a company called sebacia thats creating a device to treat acne. Also novartis is doing clinical trials on treating acne using probiotics.

There is a cure for acne. You have to get rid of diary products and refined grains, they are the cause of the insulin spikes which causes your body to overproduce growth hormones which causes the sebaceous glands to secrete too much sebum resulting in acne. Also,eating zinc supplements would help as it kills the acne causing bacteria. A combination of diet and zinc is the holy grail for the cure of acne yet stupid dermatologists would push stuff like Accutane or Benzoyl Peroxide.

Do you even read this thread? There is a cure for scars (At least proven on pigs), but whether it can be successfully implemented on humans is another subject.

Once more I have read the thread but scars are not a disease. If you didn't have scarring you would die of infection everytime you cut your skin. It is natural and part of the healing process. I have done vegan diets and my acne never completely went away. I stopped eating fruits also and my skin was at it's worst.

Acne is more than just diet, sometimes hormones play a role and genetics. My mother had awful bacne and my father many blackheads. Also one of my grandfathers had several pitts from acne as a youth. I don't eat diary and still breakout. I also had developped many skin infections as a youth. Once such infection was MRSA and it could have been deadly. Well staph did play a role in developing body acne later on for me as a teenager.

SkinTE has till the end of summer to prove to us they have the technology to turn scar tissue into normal looking healthy skin. The problem with scar tissue is that fibroblasts lay down collagen in a different manner. Finding a way to reprogram them to lay down normal collagen into the basket wave pattern following a skin injury would truly mean an end to scarring. Cotsarelis' team found a way but nothing has been reported ever since.

SkinTE is targeted towards burn victims because they would benefit the most. Acne scarring is not a priority at the moment. Their technology is based on stem cells which they reprogram into healthy looking skin tissue. Problem is the body heals wounds by contracture which creates a margin as the reprogrammed stem cells cannot propagate into the surrounding skin.

I am sure the natural weave pattern to skin is something to do with the hair follicle which as well know sits deep in the dermis. There was astudy introducing hair follicle into scar tissue which created fat which then signalled regeneration in mice i believe?

Sorry, but no.
As someone who has suffered from acne for a decade and is well into adulthood, this is simply and totally untrue. This might be your cure (and that's awesome if so), but it is definitely not everybody's 'holy grail' or 'the cure for acne'. I have tried every single diet and supplement, including the ones you mentioned. As the original poster said, there is no functional cure for acne. No disrespect, but after going through so much to try to defeat acne, it just bugs me when people act like there's some easy, one-size-fits-all, panacea solution.

Cut refined grains like white bread/rice, pasta, pizza etc. take 1 zinc supplement daily. Drink more water and eat healthier stuff like veggies, fruits.

Yeah sugar also. But you don't have to cut totally as sugar is needed. Natural sugar like those in fruits is ok in
moderation.

I hope so too, I cant wait to remove my scars. I bought PolarityTE shares before but I sold them to delve into cryptocurrencies. I do believe its a under $20 good buy though. This stock has potential to reach three digits.
