Foreskin for Beauty
Despite our natural squeamishness about needles and...ahem...other stuff, we feel compelled to share the latest in skin care technology: injectable baby foreskin treatments. Well, not the whole foreskin. Researchers in London took the medical "leftovers" from a hospital where circumcisions are performed, and used the skin pieces to culture new cells, which they then shot into people's faces.
It's very scientific, and not cannibalistic or gross at all.
Used for medical treatments like repairing skin damage, reducing scarring and, most noble of all, eliminating the dread "wrinkle", this new not-Botox is called Vavelta.
Although no babies are harmed in the foreskin harvesting, the trend away from circumcision means that there will be fewer "leftovers" for researchers to use. Could this mean a terrifying new trend in organ harvesting?
Also, we wonder if this procedure will lead to a new phrase that replaces "Soft as a baby's bum?"
Perhaps most importantly, what's up with the Velveeta sound-alike name? Are they intentionally going for a cheese connection? Really?
