Juvista

One major reason we do not have plastic surgery is the scarring. For people with darker skin tones, it is an even bigger issue. While some advances have been made in scarless surgery, Juvista is the solution to reducing scars. Juvista is the synthetic version of a protein called transforming growth factor B3 (TGFB3) and Mark W. J. Ferguson discovered that TGFB3 helps to reduce scarring while studying cleft palates in alligators. When Ferguson tried operating on alligator embryos in the womb, he discovered that the baby alligators were born with no scars. Preventing or reducing the development of scar tissue means that doctors and patients will have more freedom to choose how the procedure will be performed. Patients will no longer be forced to weigh the visual benefits of surgery against the appearance of scars. Existing scars can be significantly reduced without the use of lasers or skin grafts. Juvista can significantly reduce existing scars with only two injections, according to The Cosmetic Surgery Directory. While Juvista can lead to incredible improvements in cosmetic surgery, the benefits go far beyond appearances. For some people, scarring is a serious and debilitating problem, causing pain and loss of motion, and disfigurement. Burn and accident victims, who often have significant scarring over large areas of their bodies, will experience a significantly improved quality of life after scar reduction.
