This could be a huge breakthrough, both as a lifesaver and a way to reduce the horrible disfigurement that often accompanies severe burns.

And there could also be another huge advantage: using this against skin cancer. Often skin cancers clusters together on a section of skin, from which they branch out. If someone has a patch of skin like that, it might be possible to just remove the entire area, and replace it with new skin. One big surgery instead of a bunch of small ones that just try to stave off the problem a cancer at a time.

That's what I thought. This could begin as a lifesaving treatment and work its way to other uses.
