These days, we take tattos off with lasers, which don't cause scarring ( usually ), unlike the older techniques. OTOH, I personally use Iamin gel a bit on surgical and other wounds.

Problem is, while we have known about such agents for years, the market for dermatological agents is not "thick" enough to risk the $300-500 million it takes to get something thru the FDA when you don't know if it is going to get thru from the start.
