Canadian Student Develops Cream That Can Remove Tattoos by Manipulating Macrophages
A Dalhousie University PhD student in Halifax is developing a topical cream that he says will make tattoos fade away — without the pain that can come with laser treatments.
The commercial version of this laser is called the SPECTRA, manufactured by Lutronic.
There’s also the SPECTRA XT from the same manufactureres, that operates in the 595 nm wavelength and is also indicatd for post-acne redness.
Silica Biomaterial Could Repair Teeth Enamel

The material has “pores” that are less than 2 nanometers in diameter, and is embedded with nanosized calcium carbonate and phosphoric acid which encourage calcium and hydroxyapatite crystal growth on the tooth.
This material could potentially be used to replace worn away enamel as well as seal tooth fissures.
In a double-blind study, a commercially available physiological lipid mixture (containing ceramide 3) was found to promote barrier recovery in SLS-irritated and tape-stripped human skin, compared with the untreated control area. However, the barrier recovery was not superior to its placebo (petrolatum) (Figure 15.2).
Ingredients of Locobase Repair: Petrolatum, Aqua, Paraffin, Paraffinum Liquidum, Glycerin, Sorbitan Oleate, Carnauba, Cholesterol, Ceramide 3, Oleic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Carbomer, Tromethamine
Review with Pictures (in German)
I’d like to see a comparison between the Locobase product that more directly compares the lipid mixture vs. petrolatum. Perhaps a setup with the Locobase vs. an emulsion with the same water to petrolatum proportions would work.
