Clinical Trial:
Cell harvesting (ReCell) for scar healing
Description
Participants whose scar(s) meet specific criteria will receive local or general anesthesia in preparation for dermabrasion. A small area of skin that best matches the non-scarred skin will be shaved off for processing in the ReCell device. One part of the scarred area will be sprayed with the ReCell-produced cell suspension, while a second area (or 2nd scar if scars are small) will receive standard of care treatment. A week after surgery, participants will return for a physical exam and blood test, at which time photographs will be taken of the healing wounds. This review will be repeated at 10 days, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 12 weeks and at 6 months.
