Scar-less Healing?

"Chicks digging scars" may be a thing of the past. Because the white blood cells that prevent infection in a recent wound to the skin also govern collagen build-up, scarring usually develops with any healing. However, by turning off a specific gene in those white blood cells, by applying a new gel to the wound, those layers of collagen are greatly reduced, leaving much less of a scar. As one who appreciates his many scars, I'm not sure how I feel about this development, other than I would probably use such a product only on my face. Vanity is such a weird thing.
