Yup, my scars look best in the morning too. It's because your face is puffy due to a mass of blood in your face, and this pushes out the indented scars. I guess it's a similar thing with contracting. ...

Where I live, Winter is fast approaching, and today was rather cold. What I noticed when I got back inside was that my scars had improved around 80 percent (especially my rolling scars). I had that fe...

Okay well in my opinion, indiegogo does not have anywhere near the exposure, nor does this skin regeneration pose enough of an interest to the general public to garner enough funding required (in the ...

Imo you should go for kickstarter since it has a MUCH higher userbase and reach. Tbh I had never heard of indiegogo before seeing it on this forum, and myself and many of my acquaintances are familiar...

Here's a new hydrogel being funded by the US Army that is essentially a biological filler which does not degrade (think silicone microdroplets except not synthetic plastic). I'm not exactly sure how, ...

This is wonderful news. I just have one question though, will the hydrogel work on stretch marks? In theory - you would be able to get a doctor to cut out any skin imperfection and regrow new "cle...

so, when hydrogel is on sale? Maybe 2013. We haven't even hit large animal trials, let alone human trials. IF it works on humans the same way it does on mice, then we may see it in a few years...

Is that alright to do while on accutane? No scars/bumps/slower healing from inserting the needle?

I'm currently on accutane for 4 months to finish off what's left of my acne. However, I am left with some pretty severe rolling scars on both cheeks from my many years of acne. I'll be getting subcisi...

BTW this study on this new mouse model was actually done on the 27th November 2011, it is not new. Yes but it was first published on September 26, 2012. It had to go through a peer review process...

ht ^nothing that'll translate to any thing clinically in the near future, but interesting nonetheless. "Although many scienctists are trying to speed up the healing process, our studies on spiny...

Came across this article today about the U.S. army's support for regenerative medicine. Some interesting pieces about skin, muscle and bone regeneration.

I talked to Dr. Sun again today too. He said Gerecht hopes he can continue to work with the hydrogel if it gets funding by next year as he's been working with dextran for the past 10 years so he knows...

Here's an interesting article about a new spray-on skin, which doesn't use stem cells, but instead uses fibroblasts and keratinocytes. While it doesn't sound as promising as the hydrogel, it's still n...

well - this explains a lot: It seems that John Hopkins has a history of research for research's sake! Also - that Geraht wants to scale up her research to larger animals [which is real good - c...

good finds on the funding and updates for them still waiting on the more funding. Thanks for the new info regarding a possible new hydrogel they're working on as well. It's nice to know this team is l...

here's another article regarding a dextran hydrogel (plus some additional drug), and it's healing effects versus a standard and gauze control: To be completely honest these results aren't very impr...

Unfortunately I don't have anything to add on the connective tissue disease, but I just wanted to say I'm really glad you went with subcision because that's the best one for your type of skin. You'll ...

New article found on pubmed   Results of this study provided evidence for the alginate-gelatin hydrogel as efficient carrier for the topical delivery of bioactive molecules to the injured si...
