# Spray on Skin A New Treatment for Second Degree Burn Victims By Michael Woodworth | Published 2009-11-26 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spray-on-skin References: [technologyreview](http://www.technologyreview.com/biomedicine/23876/page1/) & [medindia.net](http://www.medindia.net/news/Spray-On-Skin-That-Heals-Burns-in-Days-61365-1.htm) A new technique to make a spray on skin has been developed by Australian surgeon Fiona Wood for treating victims of second degree burns. Before the development of this spray on skin, an extremely painful [skin graft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scar-kolmar-korea) was needed to try and repair the burnt skin. To make the spray on skin, all that is needed is a [small piece of healthy skin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kerecis) and a small “lab” that is about the size of a large sunglasses case. Spray on skin could reduce pain and suffering of many already pained burn victims. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Spray on Skin:** The trend of developing spray on skin as a new technique for treating second degree burns is emerging as a potential disruptive innovation in the medical industry. - **Non-invasive Skin Treatment:** With the development of spray on skin, a non-invasive skin treatment for second degree burns may lead to a potential disruptive innovation in the medical industry. - **Personalized Skin Grafting:** Spray on skin may bring rise to personalized skin grafting, offering a breakthrough in burn treatment and a potentially disruptive innovation in the medical industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Medical Industry:** The medical industry can benefit greatly from the development of spray on skin treatment for second degree burns, which may lead to a potential disruptive innovation. - **Pharmaceuticals Industry:** With the development of new skin treatment techniques like spray on skin, the pharmaceuticals industry may witness a potential disruptive innovation, which may lead to a revolution in burn treatments. - **Cosmeceuticals Industry:** The adoption of spray on skin may fuel the demand for the cosmeceuticals industry, leading to a potential disruptive innovation in the industry and helping to provide more efficient burn treatment options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reparative Gel Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrogel-spray.md) - [Regenerative Multifunctional Repair Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/repair-spray.md) - [Back-Targeting Acne Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clarifying-bacne-spray.md) - [Aloe-Infused Cooling Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinfields-aloe-cooling-mist.md) - [Wound Measurement Technology Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wound-measurement.md) - [One-Step Skin Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simple-solution.md) - [Healing Transparent Skin Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psoriasis-prescription-patches.md) - [Acne-Banishing Body Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acne-banishing-body-spray.md) - [Skin-Friendly Insect Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fumakilla-skin-vape.md)
