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.

I have a scar on my hand. I will try to ask my doctor, which heals my scar if it is possible use RECELL on my scar. I come from Czech Republic and I hope is a RECELL available in our country.
If you have any information about availability Recell in EU and Czech Republic please write here in this post.
Thanks Adam.
I want to do face, and the rest I will do with Melanotan. Last summer used it. 100,s of freckles came on face, then tried Batchi oil to speed up, ended up with 2nd dregree burns.All new pigment peeled off.
they do recell here in the UK but only in 3 places. im having it done if/when i can afford it. i live not too far from one of them.
Called the office in the States, told them about this.I also called the same guy 2 weeks ago. He asked for my address? He said he was going to email info for DR.CanMedica is the company in Canada.I going to drive to their office pretty soon.Barrie Ont. Lady never got back from Avita.
Hi Rich, Call Avita and let them know about this. I’m sure they’d rather have someone working for them that is actually helping ppl and earning his pay. The corporate contact number would be on their web site. best of luck and let us know how it turns out. nathalie
You can,t get it from Canada the sales rep is the laziest person in the world. Tried for 3 months for the guy to contact my DR like he said. Made it easier on him, when I said send me letter and I will hand it to DR. Nothing. Avita should get rid of this distributor
thanks for doing and sharing, lee…we all appreciate your great effort!
THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP
Hi zz
Have a look at their website and you will see how it works.
That will help you a great deal.
Also, as lee ha just wrote, it will not be avail for 18months and then at that point they will probably start the clinical trials, I’m assuming.
You should also call this company and ask them questions.
It seems for now, your Vitiligo has to be stable, but that may change in the future, we don’t know.
It’s all good.
ZZ, it is not a complicated procedure. Try calling Avita and they might help you.
Regards,
Greetings,
We appreciate your interest in ReCell, unfortunately at this time ReCell is not available for sale in the United States therefore there are no doctors currently using ReCell in the US. We have just begun clinical trials and are hoping for FDA clearance within the next 2 years. We encourage you to please check our website http://www.avitamedical.com for updates. Again we appreciate your interest in our product and apologize that we do not have further information at this time.

ZZ, check with Avita office in Europe I think they already started selling in parts of Europe and Canada.
just to let you all konw I just called the company the said about 18 months recell will be available but it work only for stable vitiligo it is like MKTP
knowing i have vitiligo is making me more stressed than ever
i need some kind of support here anything will help
sometimes the spammers are too quick for me, lol.
Hey Mary I did not find out if it was permanent or not but I think if the majority of us could get back to one color with what we have learned could stay that way through healthy lifestyle but maybe im wrong…still though fingers crossed.
All,
I think we should give it a try if the Clinical Trial happens and hope for the best. I was told that a clinical trial is very expensive. I inquired if we can get the pack from Canada but they knew for fact Canada doesn’t treat patients in India. If any of you live in Europe or Canada please check with the Avita counterparts and let us know.
I am optimistic because it is a new approach and it worked for similar ailments. I am also pessimitic because I had it for 21 years and didn’t find any new medicine but we should try till we live and that is the approach I am headed towards.
I will call Avita again on Monday and let her know if we can do a campaign (via email or blogging) to convince Avita and FDA for a CT.
I will post once I hear back from them.
Regards.
This treatment looks very promising…It gives one hope and the belief that research can help in finding a cure…
Unbelievably exciting!
Aren’t the photo’s encouraging?
Even if it’s not perfect now, or the fact that we can’t have access to it yet, it is a step forward.
The research and advancements will only improve in the next couple of years.
They will not stop now.
ps. The ReCell site gives a detailed description on how the spray works. it is in english, but there is a link at the bottom of the page to translate to most languages.
hi zz,
ReCell has been successfully used on vitiligo, that’s why i included the article. i’ve added more links to the photos…check them out when you get a mo.
It sounds promising but…I think calling it a cure is kind of misleading. Treatment is probably a more accurate way of putting it. If it turns out to be an effective treatment that is still really good news.
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.
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 ;)
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.
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

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
