Natural Treatment for Acne Scarring

Before addressing acne scars and their treatment, a word about spots or acne red marks that may look like scars but are not scars in the sense that a permanent change has occurred. Even though they are not true acne scaring and disappear in time, they are visible and can cause embarrassment.

Macules or "pseudo-scars" are flat, red or reddish spots that are the final stage of most inflamed acne lesions. After an inflamed acne lesion flattens, a macule may remain to "mark the spot" for up to 6 months. When the macule eventually disappears, no trace of it will remain—unlike a scar.

Post-inflammatory pigmentation is darkening or discoloration of the skin at the site of a healed or healing inflamed acne lesion. The lesions color can range from light brown to black. Lesions may become darker if exposed to sunlight (UV rays). It occurs more frequently in darker-skinned people, but occasionally is seen in people with white skin. Early treatment with BIOSKINCARE™ CREAM minimizes the development of post-inflammatory pigmentation, and also vanishes existing marks. Some post-inflammatory pigmentation if untreated may persist for up to 18 months, especially with excessive sun exposure.

Causes of Acne Scars

Acne scars occur when spots become inflamed or don't heal properly. While scarring for some people seems to depend on hereditary factors or skin color, precautions can be taken to prevent scars and treatments are available to significantly reduce scarred skin's appearance.

In the simplest terms, scars form at the site of an injury to tissue. They are the visible reminders of injury and tissue repair. In the case of acne, the injury is caused by the body's inflammatory response to sebum, bacteria and dead cells in the plugged sebaceous follicle. Two types of true scars exist:

(1)Depressed areas such as pitted acne scarring or ice-pick scars, and

(2) Raised thickened tissue such as keloids. When tissue suffers an injury, the body rushes its “repair kit” to the injury site, imagine, when you have injured the skin active all the immune and repair system, where elements as white blood cells, inflammatory molecules and regenerative elements that have the task of repairing tissue and fighting infection. However, when their job is done they may leave a somewhat messy repair site in the form of fibrous scar tissue, or eroded tissue. Not always is that way. White blood cells and inflammatory molecules may remain at the site of an active acne lesion for days or even weeks. In people who are susceptible to scarring the result may be an acne scar. The occurrence and incidence of scarring is still not well understood, however. There is considerable variation in scarring between one person and another, indicating that some people are more prone to scarring than others (ex. hereditary factors or skin color). Scarring frequently results from severe inflammatory nodular cystic acne that occurs deep in the skin. But, scarring also may arise from more superficial inflamed lesions.

Types of Acne Scars

There are two general types of acne scars, defined by 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. 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 scar is 1 to 2 millimeters in diameter, but some may be 1 centimeter or larger. This 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.

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. Scars associated with loss of tissue are:

Ice-pick scars or Pitted 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. This condition is sometimes also called "perifollicular elastolysis." The lesions may persist for months to years.

Treatment for Acne Scars

The purpose of scar treatment is to give the skin a more acceptable physical appearance. Total restoration of the skin, to the way it looked before you had acne, is often not possible, but scar treatment does usually improve the appearance of your skin.

The best way to prevent scarring is to treat acne early, and as long as necessary. If scars form, a number of effective treatments are available. Dermatologic surgery treatments should be discussed with a dermatologist.

To treat acne scars we offer BIOSKINCARE, a skin care cream that when used over and over again, twice a day, on your skin, will both dissolve damaged tissues and replace them with newly formed healthy skin cells. It also fights skin infection and acne breakouts and prevents scarring. The time period necessary to yield full results depends on how deep and old is the scarring.

The product yields such results for it contains a natural substance that is both an enzyme that creates metabolic effectsand a signal transduction protein that triggers or stimulates the process of skin repair and skin remodeling.

The metabolic effect makes reference to extremely complex sequences of controlled biochemical modification of chemical compounds in living organisms and cells. This includes the biosynthesis of complex organic molecules (anabolism) and their breakdown (catabolism).

Protein catabolism is the breakdown of proteins into amino acids and simple derivative compounds, for transport into the cell through the plasma membrane and ultimately for the polymerisation into new proteins via the use of ribonucleic acids (RNA) and ribosomes.

Through this metabolic processes enzymes are capable of quickly reducing the swelling or edema of traumatized or injured tissues by actually "digesting" or breaking down damaged tissues and ruptured cells at the site of injury, allowing these waste materials to be removed quickly from skin lesions so as to reduce inflammation and subsequent pain, speeding the healing process and encouraging regeneration of tissue to then take place more quickly.

In biology, signal transduction is any process by which a cell converts one kind of signal or stimulus into another. Processes referred to as signal transduction often involve a sequence of biochemical reactions inside the cell, which are carried out by enzymes and linked through second messengers. Such processes take place in as little time as a millisecond or as long as a few seconds.In transduction processes, an increasing number of enzymes and other molecules become engaged in the events that proceed from the initial stimulus. In such cases the chain of steps is referred to as a "signaling cascade" and often results in a small stimulus eliciting a large response.

The biological substance in the cream is gathered from live creatures (land snails, without any harm to them)that produce it to repair their own skin collagen when damaged and to control skin infection. The natural substance is a complex mucin that includes natural peptides that fight acne infection, skin regenerating peptides that shrink scar tissues and prevent and repair scarring, and enzymes that dissolve damaged cells, clean and open clogged pores, halt inflammation and trigger skin regeneration.

The natural antimicrobial action of BIOSKINCARE™ is very effective against skin infections and without the pitfalls of pharmaceutical antibiotics or the side effects of harsh chemicals. BIOSKINCARE™ also helps to get rid of the chemical inflammatory promoters (i.e. interleukin-6, hydrogen peroxide, histamines, and bacterial toxins) that are significantly increased by acne infection…

Pitted, ice pick scarring can be improved permanently with the disciplined application of BIOSKINCARE™. Results are noticeable within a few weeks when used twice a day. Full results can take several months depending on how deep and old is the scarring.

In the skin, BIOSKINCARE™ helps to:

1. Stimulate the replacement of damaged skin cells, getting rid of scarring and necrotic tissues.

2. Stimulate the formation of the extra cellular binding between cells, thus improving skin strength, cutting down on fragility.

3. Inhibits microbiological activity of dangerous, pathogenic skin bacteria, including acne.

With the use of BIOSKINCARE™ Cream acne inflammation is kept at bay, acne scars are healed, damaged cells and toxins are dissolved and germs are destroyed.

What our customers say:
This is my second time to purchase your incredible cream! I have been extremely happy with the results thus far. My skin's texture has improved tremendously. My pores have all but vanished and the scarring I had has dramatically improved. Thanks so much!!! Tina Doomes. AI, US

I have been using the cream on my back, chest and shoulders for acne breakouts and to reduce minor scarring left from previous breakouts. I have only been using the cream for a few weeks but already the breakouts have been greatly reduced and I am seeing much improvement in the scarring already! Donna Hensley, Illinois, USA.

I love your product! I've tried tons of expensive and allegedly useful treatments for acne and acne scaring like clearlight, microdermabrasion, intense pulsed light and various costly beauty products but none have had the same effect so quickly as this miracle in a jar! I'm only 1/2 way through my first jar and 90% of acne has cleared and about 60% of acne scars are fading away. Thank you! I am totally bowled over by your product! Sharon Lee. London.

I have been using the cream for about 7 weeks now and I love it. I have noticed a reduction in my deep cystic acne scars caused by to 30 years of acne breakouts. I have had in the past 2 dermabrasions and several chemical peels, years of glycolic acids which reduced the scars somewhat but the cream is definitely working better than all those methods. It has such a calming soothing effect in general on the skin that compares to nothing else I have come across in my search. I believe that it will take time, perhaps about a year, for them to heal at the rate it is going. (...)  I am so grateful ad that I found BIOSKINCARE! Irene Sowton. CA, USA

BIOSKINCARE is great! It has worked wonders on my acne scars, and went along well with Accutane. Now my face is smooth, and blemish free. I love it! It does what 2 or 3 different products do! Definately worth the money! I'm so happy I found BIOSKINCARE! Keith Edward Jones. MD, USA

I love the product. It has done a fantastic job (for my acne scars). I never thought that something this wonderful could actually live up to it's promises. It sounded like it was too good to be true at first, but I thought I would give it a try anyway. Well needless to say this is my second order of two jars and I absolutely LOVE IT. I saw results in about three weeks time. I can't wait to get my next order..... This stuff is great!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! Courtney Barth. Ohio, USA.

Have been using cream for several months and have notice it has improved my old acne scars. William Anderson, CARRICKFERGUS, UK

Just love it; wonderful (for acne scars and acne) and light, no scent, and works. What else can I say? Heather Roche. San Francisco, USA

I am quite impressed with the effectiveness of your product. It has been helpful in healing my acne scars and, although it doesn't completely prevent new flare-ups, it helps to speed up the healing process for many of my skin problems. Cherie Gibson. Woodstock, Ontario, Canada.

Works incredibly well for old acne scars. You need to come out with a bigger bottle. Ashruf Hassaballa. IL, USA.

Hi! I have terrible acne scars on both of my arms ..... before I found your product on the internet, I was contemplating laser surgery to remove the scarring. Now, after 3 full months of use twice a day, not only have open areas healed with virtually no scarring, the old scars are starting to 'peel' and are also becoming less noticeable. I have now started using the product on my face in hopes for the same wonderful results! This is my third order and I look forward to receiving it soon! Carolyn G. Ness City, KS, USA.

I love this product! I've been using it for six weeks now, two to three times daily. I've been very impressed with the results.

Not only that, but I have noticed sun spots clearing as well, and my pores are so much smaller. My complexion hasn't looked this good in years! I have dreaded the coming of summer for a few years now, never wanting anyone to see me in direct sunlight due to the scarring. Now, I don't even think about it anymore. Such a boost of confidence. Thank you for creating this miracle cream! Stacy. Peachtree City, Georgia, USA.

Scars are looking smoother & I have had no breakouts
I have been using BIOSKINCARE cream now for 3 months and am happy with the improvements on my skin. Not only have I noticed the scars are looking smoother, but I have had no breakouts in the last month. I have had tried laser treatments and micro dermabrasion, and used products like Retin A micro, which just made my skin red and scaley, but the BIOSKINCARE cream is much easier on the skin. I am buying my third jar of BIOSKINCARE and know I will continue seeing big improvements in my skin, thanks so much for this great cream! Michelle Stewart. CA, USA.
