scar-juvista.jpg A new product which helps reduce scars significantly is manufactured using alligator embryos. The protein is called transforming growth factor B3 (TGFB3) and will be made available in a product called Juvista. The TGFB3 aids in reducing scars and will likely benefit cosmetic surgery patients by reducing the effects of scarring. Juvista reduces existing scars with just 2 injections. Cost of Juvista is expected to be lower than BOTOX.

The benefits of Juvista go far beyond people seeking beauty. Burn and accident victims, who often have significant scarring over large areas of their bodies, will experience a significantly improved quality of life after treatment with Juvista. Juvista is still under clinical trials and is expected to be available in US shortly.
