So ECM turnover and endologous stem cell expansion/improvements make scars disappear very quickly or at least take on the texture of the surrounding skin where they are more recent skin divots. I was awestruck by the effects. So I'm wondering, will it get rid of tattoos? What's the anatomy of a tattoo? Where exactly does the ink go? I know scarring is part of the process... Will people switch to fake tattoos as an alternative to the real thing when we're all sustainably young? What will happen to people with tattoos? Will they start to have blurry colored birthmark looking things? Paint splashes?

Easily answered by Google. However, tattoos are just ink in the subcutaneous layers of the skin. Almost immediately the immune system begins breaking down the ink but there is so much to break down that it takes decades to fade by half. Lasers can break up the ink so that the immune system can handle it far more easily, this takes multiple painful treatments that aren't really all that great for the skin. One company came out with a cream that helps to do the same thing, break up the ink into easily processed parts for the immune system to manage. This should have been available this year but I've not seen much about it.

 

ECM turnover is something I am curious about with regards to AGEs but here's a video or two on scars:
