Acne Scar Treatment with Microdermabrasion Cream

PIH The Great Fake Out

Many people having acne are concerned about their new acne scars when in actuality there isn't a scar in site. What they are really noticing is color change. This post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is not an acne scar. It is the normal remnant of the skin's inflammatory process. A home microdermabrasion cream is all you need to get rid of those marks.

For those with pale skin tones, this aftermath color change is usually pink, red or purple in color. People with darker skin tones may notice brown or black spots where their acne once was.

PIH can fade unassisted. Unfortunately, the darker the PIH, the longer it may take to resolve. It may also require some intervention in order to hasten the process. While PIH is not a true scar, when it lasts past a year, it certainly seems like a permanent problem.

An Ounce Of Prevention

Prevention may sound like a glib answer to how to handle acne scars. But since an estimated ten million Americans become scarred to some extent by acne each year, prevention is the absolute best solution.

Who will develop acne scars and how severe will scarring be? Short of a crystal ball, much of that is left to chance. What we do know is that genetics plays a definite role in the likelihood of acne severity and consequent scar formation. Also, acne severity has been linked to more severe forms of scarring later in adolescence or adulthood.

Because 95% of people who have acne will develop scarring to some degree, the earlier the appropriate treatment for the severity of the outbreak is initiated, the better the odds are that scar formation will be mild. Delaying acne therapy by 3 or more years is likely to increase one's risk of more significant acne scarring.

For the lucky majority, acne scarring is a minor annoyance, difficult for others to visualize. For others, acne scarring can cause devastating long term emotional suffering. Teens may deal with depression, become withdrawn and a loss of self confidence.

All acne scars are caused by acne, but not necessarily everything on your face that looks like a scar is an acne scar! Scars are caused by a lack of collagen which is the substance that lies under the surface of the skin and keeps it smooth and at the same level. After acne pops and goes away, the surface tissue has no collagen to rest on so it gets depressed into a deeper layer of skin where it heals. The skin surface heals by binding itself onto deeper layers, and once this is done collagen can’t get back into that area, leaving behind an uneven scar, otherwise known as an ice pick scar.

What is a Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a process that stimulates the regeneration of the skin and uses fine microcrystals to polish, abrade or exfoliate the skin to remove damaged and dead skin cells, oil deposits and debris through deeper than regular exfoliation.

It is as if you were using a "sand paper", to polish the top layer of skin. By inducing a small amount of controlled skin damage with this procedure you can achieve something similar to what is expected by using a needle or laser burning, that is that your skin will be stimulated to repair and renew itself. The aim is to promote cellular regeneration, rejuvenation, softening and evening out of imperfections and acne scars on the outer layer of skin.

Microdermabrasion evolved from a technique called dermabrasion. Dermabrasion has been around for decades and was used to treat severe scarring by polishing the uppermost surface of the skin with an abrasive, metallic attachment. This is a highly effective technique but requires recovery time, not to mention anesthesia. Microdermabrasion is a similar but gentler, less invasive skin-resurfacing technology. 

How does abrading, polishing or exfoliating by microdermabrasion help to get rid of rough, old, raised scars left behind by acne inflammation?

Microdermabrasion uses tiny or micro particles to "polish" the skin and gradually remove scar tissues and dark or discolored superficial skin tissues at a pace that is much faster than the natural process of skin cells shedding off.

In fact, the skin renews itself completely every 20 days when you are around 15 to 25 years old. But as you go into your thirties, the renewal rate begins to slow down significantly, and then it takes about 28 days for a complete full renewal cycle. Microdermabrasion accelerates this process and by repeating the procedure several times a fresher skin can be revealed and with an enhanced texture, much smoother, even and with less imperfections.

The procedure has become a standard practice performed in a variety of settings from dermatologist and plastic surgery offices to some spas and high end aesthetician clinics.

Skin Remodeling and Acne Scar Reduction
The reduction of acne scars depends on a process called "skin remodeling". The skin heals wounds or injuries very quickly to prevent blood loss and infection. To do this your system n creates connective tissues or scars formed by a "collagen glue" deposit that protects and strengthens the injured area. In ideal skin healing, wounded skin is rapidly closed and the healed site is slowly reconstructed by removing the residual collagen and blending the scarred area into the nearby skin. Scarred collagen is broken down and replaced with a mix of skin cells and invisible collagen fibers. After a skin injury the remodeling process may continue in an area even for ten years.

In young people the rate of remodeling is very high and scars are rapidly removed from wounded areas. But as we reach adulthood, this rate diminishes and small scars may remain for many years.

One way to speed up the rate of remodeling is by inducing a controlled skin damage with a needle, laser burning, microdermabrasion, or by other means, and then let the repair processes rebuild the skin area. A second method is to use biological enzymes that help to both digest or dissolve or beak down scars and to accelerate the body's natural healing processes. By using such enzymes you can get even better final results. This is what our new product is all about. It combines the advantages of microdermabrasion and the action of natural skin remodeling enzymes, the same they are used by a living creature to repair his own skin when damaged.

You can also try it by yourself at home with our BIOSKINEXFOL™ CREAM:

BIOSKINCARE™ WITH MICRODERMABRASION CRYSTALS = BIOSKINEXFOL™

The cream is the same as in BIOSKINCARE™ CREAM but infused with microcrystals so that you may rub it on raised or flat or old acne scars, for the physical breakdown of scars achieved through microdermabrasion helps the enzymes in the cream to dissolve the scars more quickly.

BIOSKINEXFOL is recommended for your facial skin if you have suffered scarring due to nodules, cysts or other severe forms of acne. Treatment of your face with this microdermabrasion cream, three times a week, removes the skin’s top layer of dead cells and smoothes out scarred tissues.

What are the effects of the natural ingredients contained in BIOSKINCARE?
BIOSKINCARE contains skin renewal activators in a natural state as part of a complex system of the skin's own ingredients. Therefore, its action is controlled and slowly released by nature, eliminating the risk of overdoses. For the same reason it has no side effects as products containing acids in formulation that could be to strong for your type of skin.

BIOSKINCARE is made with the healing substance produced by the snails of the species "Helix Aspersa Muller's" and only contains biological ingredients that are compatible and match up to what is already in the skin. Your skin will recognize these substances and will utilize them, bolstering your skin's ability to repair itself. And because the ingredients in BIOSKINCARE are all skin bio-compatible, there is no risk of a sensitive/allergic reaction.

it is very important to remember that the skin will become more sensitive to sunlight. Always use a complete sunblock with minimum SPF15 to shield the skin.

First thing you will notice is a smoothing of your skin, and within a few days or weeks of disciplined application of a little once a day every two days you will start seeing and feeling results. Then you can decide how many times will it be necessary for you to follow the procedure to get the full results you are after.

It is important to note that microdermabrasion is not a good choice for those individuals with the following conditions: rosacea, herpes, warts, eczema, lupus, and diabetes.
