It's a spray gun that uses your own stem cells so that the skin can renew itself. It worked to cure this guys burn marks, I'm thinking it could work on stretch marks.
"LONDON: Embarrassed of your burn marks? Don't worry, as scientists have developed a revolutionary spray gun which they say could heal severe burns "within days".
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh who are behind the innovation said the spray gun can generate healthy skin stem cells from the victim and sprays it on burned skin. The stem cell shooting gun, the experts claimed, can treat the skin in just one-and-a-half hours and reduce healing time to a few days, the Daily Mail reported.
Though scientists have been able to regenerate sheets of skin for decades, it is a lengthy process and the resulting skin is extremely fragile. Patients are open to dangerous infections as they heal and some burns victims can die while they are waiting, even with the right care and dressing. But there won't be any such problem in the new spray gun, said lead researcher Doctor Jorg Gerlach of McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh." |

Sounds like it may be in the experimental stage, so it will likely be a while before it is accessible for cosmetic purposes. But it sure sounds great.  |

Wouldn't it be great if they developed this so you could get it like a spray tan - you go naked into a little booth and then they just spray you with DNA and you come out 20 years younger!!!  |
