ReCell® is a stand-alone, rapid, autologous cell harvesting, processing and delivery technology that enables surgeons and clinicians to treat skin defects using the patient’s own cells in a regenerative process. (Vitiligo results here, about halfway down page)
Developed as an ‘off the shelf’ kit, ReCell enables a thin split thickness biopsy, taken at the time of the procedure, to be processed into an immediate cell population for delivery onto the surface of the treatment area using a highly efficient, easy-to-use proprietary ‘spray-on’ application process. Tissue collection, cell segregation and preparation of the cell suspension takes approximately 20-30 minutes in total during which time the treatment area is prepared. Once processed, the cell suspension is available for immediate use and can cover a treatment area up to 80 times the area of the donor biopsy.
ReCell enables the delivery of keratinocytes, melanocytes, fibroblasts and Langerhans cells harvested from the epidermal-dermal junction for application onto a wound surface in order to promote rapid and effective healing.
ReCell has been clinically demonstrated to accelerate healing, minimize scar formation, eliminate tissue rejection and reintroduce pigmentation into hypopigmented areas.
ReCell has been designed for use in a wide variety of wound, plastic, reconstructive, burn and cosmetic procedures including burns and scalds, donor sites, glabrous injuries, mild to moderate scars, hypopigmentation (hypopigmented scars, iatrogenic hypopigmentation and Vitiligo) and in aesthetic rejuvenation procedures.
As the ReCell technology enables cell processing at the site of treatment without the use of specialized laboratory staff, the process is both cost and time efficient.
Advantages include:
· Minimization of donor site size and depth with concomitant reduction in complications, morbidity and healing time.
· Improved wound healing time and scar quality.
· Repopulation of melanocytes to reduce hypopigmentation.
· On-site processing for immediate application.
· Increased viability through immediate harvest and application.
· Ability to be processed by clinician and not require specialised laboratory staff.

Dan, through your research, did you happen to find out if this could be permanent, or could it come back?
I’m praying it’s permanent.
This is good news. I did some research about this and I found some stuff dating back to 2006. What makes them more confident now, is it due to good results from clinical trials?
I hope so.
Greattttttttt newsssssssssss ;D
I would love to be in too.
Natalie,
Your website is making a difference, so exciting.
As a group we can be a powerful force and help to eliminate this disease.
once and for all, even if it’s 2 years away.
We’re stronger than Vitiligo.
I’m in.
Natalie,
Just called the company they are currently doing two clinical trials for SCARS and BURNS. I requested them if I can use the product which they said is not possible for the next two years. I suggested that we can request as a group for a new clinical trial for vitiligo she said that it is a good approach and she will raise that with their team.
I will email her in the evening and I will copy you. Let me know if you have ever started a Clinical trial process.
Regards.
Hi Ven,
well done! i’ve never been a part of a clinical trial; however, i will do anything i can to help our with this
Does Somebody alreay test it on vitiligo?
whats the results?
Seems a futuristic thing eheh
Nice! we got to have more information about this specific on vitiligo..
cheeersss
and remember the real cure its inside of you!
Hi there i’ve been a vitiligo patient for 3 years and its speeding up now faster than ever! i live in a country where medication and information is scarce. i was wondering how well does the lotion work?
Im really excited to hear about this
Also, just received your Vitiligo Cover Lotion for the first time and it works great! I am very pleased. Plan to reorder again. Thank you!!!!
Thanks Natalie. This technology seems to be a promising step forward toward a cure for vitiligo. Checked out their website, researched their case studies, and I was impressed with the results.
Oh that’s great Natalie, that you ran this story.
Isn’t it exciting!
All the best
