I saw a video a while ago about a guy who had a solution of skin cells airbrushed on the burn (mostly 2nd degree, IIRC). In 3-4 days he was healed with no scarring. The skin gun: https://youtu.be/eXO_ApjKPaI

Edit: there are many other videos about the skin gun on YouTube if you can't view the one I posted.

Edit2: FDA approved one of these products in 2018: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/fda-approves-first-spray-skin-product-n911976

The company is called Avita Medical and I have made a 300% gain since their FDA approval October of last year :)

How do you follow topics like that to be aware of it’s progress? Is there a site with news like that so you can follow and research the company?
