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. 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.
Hypertrophic and keloid scars persist for years, but may diminish
in size over time.
Scars Caused by Loss of Tissue
Acne
scars 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.
Treatments for Acne Scars
A number
of treatments are available for acne scars. The type of treatment selected
should be the one that is best for you in terms of your type of skin, the cost,
what you want the treatment to accomplish, and the possibility that some types
of treatment may result in more scarring if you are very susceptible to scar
formation.
You can use BIOSKINCARE to prevent and repair acne scars
and/or seek surgical treatment.
In summary, acne scars are caused by the
body’s inflammatory response to acne lesions. The best way to prevent scars is
to treat acne early, and as long as necessary. If scars form, a number of
effective treatments are available. BIOSKINCARE cream is very effective in
helping to prevent scars by treating acne at the source and it is very effective
in repairing acne scars by helping both to trigger new skin cell formation when
the skin has been damaged and to speed up the process of scar
maturation.
The role of BIOSKINCARE
BIOSKINCARE™
CREAM acts as an exfoliant eliminating dead cells, destroys pathogens, heals and
regenerates damaged tissue. It nourishes your skin and protects it from free
radicals. Improves the skin's elasticity, and leaves it silky soft and soothed.
Once inside the follicle the bio-available compound in BIOSKINCARE will
trigger the formation of new elastic cells, collagen and pigment, filling in
scar cavities. It will also shrink and replace the old fibrous collagen formed
to repair damaged tissues. Soon new 'invisible' hair, known as lanugo, will come
through the restored hair follicles in those areas. It will also "pump" up the
cells and the "ground substances" in the skin. That also reduces wrinkles on the
surface of the skin.
The secret of BIOSKINCARE™ is not only that it
provides the normal ingredients which may be deficient in the skin, but also
restores the skin renewal process by stimulating the germinal cells. The result
is a healthier appearance of the skin with more thickness, a normal skin color,
normal skin texture and normal skin tissue turgor.
What our customers say: "I have had tremendous improvement on acne scars from your product. I have had laser treatment and various other treatments to try and correct the problem and have had more improvement from the BIOSKINCARE than from a combination of all the rest. I have left a message for an old friend who works for a plastic surgeon. I can't wait to share my results with her. I hope to get the word out on the benefits of BIOSKINCARE. It seems that the endless hours of searching the web for some sort of miracle has paid off. I don't know whether I'll ever have the flawless skin I've longed for but from the results I've seen thus far I may come pretty close."

BIOCUTIS skin treatment products
BIOSKINEXFOL™
A home micro-dermabrasion cream with high quality micro-crystals, the same that professionals use to breakdown and polish away hard, rough and old scar tissues. It allows for a deeper penetration of our all natural skin moisturizing and regeneration complex that is combined with the crystals in the microdermabrasion cream. 120 gram (4 oz) jar = $79
BIO STRETCH MARK CREAM™

Helps to prevent pregnancy stretch marks, strengthen fragile skin, firm sagging breasts and body areas and reduce cellulite. It also works for newly formed stretch marks and scars, while BIOSKINEXFOL is recommended for old, rough and raised marks. This product is similar to BIOSKINCARE, although in a more economic container, with 6 oz. For use preferably on the body, not on the face, for it contains a higher concentration of our natural biological complex which results in an invisible film that retains in moisture by occluding the area where it is applied and could feel a little tacky on the face depending on how oily is your facial skin. 6 oz (180g) tottle = $119.00
BIOSKINCLEAR™

Oil free moisturizing gel for acne, rosacea and facial scars, for people with very oily skin complexion. The product is based on the natural glycoconjugates compound produced by a little creature to function as its powerful immune modulator and skin regeneration trigger. Removes dead cells, unclogs sebum canals and dissolves scar tissues by enzymatic hydrolysis, without peeling. Promotes the secretion of antimicrobials on the skin surface that keep micro-organisms at bay and controls acne bacteria. Boosts the production of glycosaminoglycans, the molecules that hold in water in the dermis, thus truly moisturizing the skin from within. Communicates to your immune system that you are being taken care of and can moderate an otherwise extreme inflammatory reaction that may end up destroying healthy skin cells together with bacteria and sebum that has turned into a foreign matter. 50 gram (1.76 oz) airless pump bottle $49 and 20% off for two or more.
BIOSKINCARE™

A deeply moisturizing natural skin care cream that triggers the regeneration of damaged cells and replenishes the lipid barrier of the skin while preventing and removing scars from accidental injuries and post surgery; stretch marks; hypertrophic and keloid scars; keratois pilaris, actinic keratosis, dermatitis, psoriasis scales and all types of skin blemishes. 50 gram (1.76 oz) jar = $59.98 and for two or more 20% discount
BIO SKIN REJUVENATION™
Same cream base and enzymes as in BIOSKINCARE to "digest" or dissolve blemishes, speed skin turnover, moisturize and tighten skin, and two added ingredients: a natural pigment reducer and a human growth factor peptide, derived from the melanocyte-stimulating-hormone that blocks melanin synthesis, and inhibits the formation of unwanted pigmentation, allowing control over skin tone and brown spots. Leaves skin bright and refreshed! 50 gram (1.76 oz) jar = $69.98.
