I just came across this:

So what does this mean? Could this be at all used for any skin rejuvenation treatment? (ie. apoptosis, followed up with cell replacement)

It's efficacy and extent of applications may be limited by its side effects (1). Similarly, debridement (removal of skin) treatments are designed to remove ulcerated, necrotic and otherwise scarred tissue and induce healthy cell growth. Then there are the cosmestic variants of dermabrasion, chemical peels, etc. They all rely, however, on the patient's innate regenerative abilities. In any case, whilst non-surgical debridement may be preferable the under-reported key is in the cell replacement. Being able to modulate the rate of regeneration back to youthful levels is more important than creative ways of destroying tissue.

Well, then what do you think of this:

Will this be the way to regain youthful regeneration of skin cells? Isolagen has also been mentioned in the past. What kind of success record are they establishing with their purported wrinkle treatments?
