There is an old video about a man whose finger trip grew back after having Acell powder placed on it. Acell is basically the same as Alloderm/Cymetra. Alloderm/Cymetra is made from human cadaver skin and Acell is made from a porcine (pig) source. Both of these are ECM (extra-cellular matrix) and are used pretty much interchangeably. Houser has used both Alloderm/Cymetra and Acell (since some people have asked him to try it). I discussed this with him when I got my Cymetra injection and he told me that he has tried Acell and doesn't really see much difference between Cymetra and Acell. He said he leaned toward Cymetra as it is from a human source so is a little more natural for the body.
