Major breakthrough in Severe Burns Treatment

    Doctors have invented a revolutionary skin spray-gun that heals severe burns within days.

    The spray-gun which fires stem cells on to the damaged skin has already been used successfully on a dozen patients.

    Rather than sheets of skin being laboriously grown over a period of a month and applied to the patient, stem cells are harvested from a small patch of healthy skin, put into a solution and sprayed back on to the affected area.

    Well what a great achievement for science I must say. The process only takes 90 mins, and can see skin completely healed in as little as 4 days. As anybody who has ever witnessed a burn will tell you, burns are some of the most gruesome and difficult of injuries to treat.

    Hopefully this treatment will be rolled out as rapidly as possible.
