Treatments for Acne Scars

The key to skin renewal is a process where (1) the skin is irritated or slightly damaged by exfoliating agents or mildly damaged by other procedures ("sanding" by dermabrasion or burning by laser) or exfoliated without damage by enzymes that dissolve damaged tissues, such as those contained naturally in BIOSKINCARE. This is followed by (2) a natural rebuilding of the skin that removes imperfections, rebuilds collagen and elastin fibers that tighten skin, and increases the amount of glycosamoinoglycans, the moisture-holding proteins that give skin its firmness. The stronger the exfoliation or skin damage, the stronger is the skin rebuilding action. Unfortunately, strong exfoliation causes strong skin irritation with itching, burning, and pain. And the results of laser resurfacing or dermabrasion depend on the skills of the practician.

After a wound, injury or inflammatory response has occurred to the skin, both skin cells and connective tissue cells (fibroblasts) begin multiplying to repair the damage. The fibroblasts form a framework upon which the skin cells can migrate into and fill in the wound. It is the balance between the rate of replication of fibroblasts versus skin cells that is IMPORTANT here. If the fibroblasts replicate too quickly, they can form a dense network that is not as easily penetrated by the skin cells and that results in a large thick scar. If the skin cells keep up with the fibroblasts, then little scar tissue is formed and the skin has a more normal appearance after the wound has healed. Thus, to get good results it is IMPERATIVE skin healing progresses at rapid pace.

Our natural acne scar remedy BIOSKINCARE contains enzymes combined with skin regenerating accelerators. When used as a long term skin care routine (2 to 4 months) it may be as good as a short term strong chemical peel or a skilled dermabrasion procedure. The skin regeneration accelerators are: enzymes and special proteins peptides (amino-acid chains) that signal the body to start reproducing human skin cells quickly.

This natural medicine is gathered from the secretions left on his paths by the snail Helix Aspersa Müller. The very same this snail uses to quickly regenerate his own shell and skin when damaged. After years of proven effects, scientific validation and the invention of a patented process to make it into a topical cream, now presented as a wise natural solution for acne and scars.

BIOSKINCARE is a natural treatment for acne scars that addresses all the factors affecting acne and scars: it's ingredients destroy bacteria, gently exfoliate dead cells, clean and unclog pores, nourish and repair damaged tissues, without causing any irritations or unwanted allergic reactions or side effects.

Types of Acne Scars
There are two general types of acne scars, defined by skin tissue response to inflammation: (1) scars caused by increased tissue formation, and (2) scars caused by loss of tissue.

Scars Caused by Increased Tissue Formation

The scars caused by increased tissue formation are called keloids or hypertrophic scars. The word hypertrophy means "enlargement" or "overgrowth." Both hypertrophic and keloid scars are associated with excessive amounts of the cell substance collagen caused by surgery, cut or burn. Overproduction of collagen is a response of skin cells to injury. The excess collagen becomes piled up in fibrous masses, resulting in a characteristic firm, smooth, usually irregularly-shaped scar.

The typical keloid or hypertrophic scar is 1 to 2 millimeters in diameter, but some may be 1 centimeter or larger. Keloid scars tend to "run in families"—that is, abnormal growth of scar tissue is more likely to occur in susceptible people, who often are people with relatives who have similar types of scars.

Scars left after surgery or burn scars form hypertrophic and keloid scars. They persist for years, but may diminish in size over time.

Scars Caused by Loss of Tissue

Acne scars in face associated with loss of tissue—similar to scars that result from chicken pox—are more common than keloids and hypertrophic scars. Scars associated with loss of tissue are:

Ice-pick scars usually occur on the cheek. They are usually small, with a somewhat jagged edge and steep sides—like wounds from an ice pick. Ice-pick scars may be shallow or deep, and may be hard or soft to the touch. Soft scars can be improved by stretching the skin; hard ice-pick scars cannot be stretched out.

Depressed fibrotic scars are usually quite large, with sharp edges and steep sides. The base of these scars is firm to the touch. Ice-pick scars may evolve into depressed fibrotic scars over time.

Soft scars, superficial or deep are soft to the touch. They have gently sloping rolled edges that merge with normal skin. They are usually small, and either circular or linear in shape.

Atrophic macules are usually fairly small when they occur on the face, but may be a centimeter or larger on the body. They are soft, often with a slightly wrinkled base, and may be bluish in appearance due to blood vessels lying just under the scar. Over time, these scars change from bluish to ivory white in color in white-skinned people, and become much less obvious.

Follicular macular atrophy is more likely to occur on the chest or back of a person with acne. These are small, white, soft lesions, often barely raised above the surface of the skin—somewhat like whiteheads that didn’t fully develop. The lesions may persist for months to years.
