Scar Cream

What can a scar cream do?

A scar is the consequence of our own body healing a wound or injury inflicted to our skin or other tissues. Damage to the outside layer of the skin is healed by rebuilding the tissue, and in these instances, scarring is slight. When damage affects the thick layer of tissue beneath the skin, rebuilding gets more complicated. Our bodies lay down collagen fibres (a protein which is naturally produced by the body) to reconnect the skin tissues and this usually results in a noticeable scar.

After the wound has healed, the scar continues to change as new collagen is formed and new blood vessels are created. This is the reason why most scars will fade and improve in appearance over a period of two years following an injury. However, some visible evidence of an injury will remain as hair follicles and sweat glands do not grow back.

How Can Scar Creams Benefit The Healing of My Injuries?

There are many scar healing creams, ointments, patches of silicone and products made made with vitamins, botanical extracts, and natural ingredients that are designed to improve the healing of scars,  help in scar reduction and make scars less noticeable.

But not all those creams or products for scars are alike.

Healing of wounds or injuries is a process that entails coordinated orchestration between the many cells, organs and products of the immune system that do the masterful job of maintaining our biological integrity.

The Inflammatory Phase

Platelets and inflammatory cells are the first to arrive at a site injured and provide key functions and “signals” necessary for the influx of connective tissue cells and a new blood supply. This phase is named inflammatory phase and is characterized by redness, heat, swelling and pain.

The presence of wound macrophages is a marker that the inflammatory phase is nearing the end and a proliferative phase is beginning. Lymphocytes (white blood cell that helps the body fight infection) come into the wound area at a later stage.

BIOSKINCARE scar cream contains the only substance that is produced by a living creature to repair injuries to skin that has the very same structural elements present in human skin.

This substance is a mucin secreted by land snails. A complex compound of molecules that comprise glycoprotein enzymes, glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, copper-haemocyanin and oligoelements that contribute to repair skin and affect every phase of the process that repairs skin damage and leads to minimum scarring or scarless healing.

In the inflammatory phase the copper-haemocyanin in the snail secretrion, and thus in BIOSKINCARE, enhances rapid wound re-oxygenation for better collagen formation. And the enzymes in the biological ingredient present "collagenase activity" wich contributes to digest or dissolve damaged proteins.

Proliferative Phase

As the Proliferative phase progresses the predominant cells in the wound site are the fibroblasts. These cells originate in the mesoderm that gives rise to the connective tissue of the body, blood vessels, and lymph vessels and is responsible for producing the new matrix needed to restore structure and function to the injured tissue. Fibroblasts attach to the cables of the provisional fibrin matrix and begin to produce collagen.

At this stage BIOSKINCARE presents fibroblast growth factor-like activity with the following effects:

Facilitates the migration of keratinocytes
Enhances fibroblast functional capability, thus improving fibroplasia
Induces synthesis of new collagen
Provides hyaluronic acid (essential in all repair process)

The rapid production of hyaluronic acid by fibroblasts in the early stages of wound healing are of crucial importance as hyaluronic acid stimulates the migration and mitosis of mesenchymal and epithelial cells. Increased levels of hyaluronic acid, as observed during fetal wound healing or as achieved by the topical application of hyaluronic acid during wound dressing, are associated with brisker healing and reduced scarring.

Collagen is an abundant protein in the animal kingdom, accounting for 30% of the total protein in the human body. In normal tissues collagen provides strength, stability and structure. Collagen is needed to repair defects and restore anatomic structure and function. If too much collagen is deposited in the wound site, normal anatomical structure is lost, function is compromised and fibrosis occurs.

Remodelling Phase

BIOSKINCARE helps achieve the correct balance between the synthesis and degradation of collagen and other important structural elements.

The collagen released into the extracellular space undergoes further processing by opening of the procollagen N and C-terminal peptides. In the extra-cellular spaces an important enzyme, lysyl oxidase, acts on the collagen to form stable cross-links. As the collagen matures and becomes older, more and more of these intramolecular and intermolecular cross-links are placed in the molecules. This important cross-linking step gives collagen its strength and stability over time.

In the remodelling phase BIOSKINCARE induces the assembly of the fibronectin extracellular matrix and provides the necessary structural support for new collagen and elastic fibres. It also enhances cell communication and cell-matrix interactions, allowing proper matrix assembly during the repair process.

In summary, the normal healing cascade begins with an orderly process of hemostasis and fibrin deposition, which leads to an inflammatory cell cascade, characterized by neutrophils, macrophages and lymphocytes within the tissue. This is followed by attraction and proliferation of fibroblasts and collagen deposition, and finally remodeling by collagen cross-linking and scar maturation.

Despite this orderly sequence of events responsible for normal wound healing, pathologic responses leading to fibrosis or chronic ulcers may occur if any part of the healing sequence is altered. Those can be avoided with the application of BIOSKINCARE twice a day every day during the period of time the scar healing process is still at work.

Get rid of scars, stretch marks and all types of skin blemishes, while moisturizing, protecting, repairing and renewing your skin with BIOSKINCARE

Scar removal is achieved because scar tissues are dissolved by the action of enzymes which reduce them to their component aminoacids. Those aminoacids are then available for the reproduction of fibroblasts. Fibroblasts are responsible for the production of new connective tissues and glycosaminoglycans -the molecules that deeply moisturize, firm skin and give it strenght and capacity to withstand over-stretching. The cream also replenishes the lipid barrier of the skin and triggers the regeneration of damaged cells while preventing and removing acne scars, keratosis, psoriasis scales and all types of scars and skin blemishes.

Bio Body Cream for Scars and Stretch Marks - not for use on the face

Recommended for the treatment of stretch marks, scars, and back and chest acne. It is not recommended for facial application because it contains a higher content of our biological active ingredient, Helix Aspersa Muller Glycoconjugates than do BIOSKINCARE or BIOSKINCLEAR. This difference results in a thicker cream that leaves behind a thin protective film on the applied area. This thicker consistency is beneficial for occluding the area and keeping in moisture for a longer period of time, making the cream more effective in dissolving scars. However, its one disadvantage is that it is incompatible with make-up and may leave a thin milky looking film on your face that will quickly flake-off creating an unappealing effect.

Every other scar cream I have tried for ingrown hairs and the subsequent inflammation and scarring always works initially and then, gradually, the efficacy diminishes and the problem recurs. I have been using your cream for 4 months and the scars continue to shrink and fade and I have had no problem with ingrown hairs anymore! Please tell your other customers to try your product before spending thousands of dollars and tremendous effort using more invasive means. Your cream seems to be the answer! Once again, thank you for such a wonderful product. I must admit, had I not been so impressed by the detail of the literature on your website, I might not have been persuaded to try yet another product. Keep up the good work. You are helping so many people who have been suffering with their skin conditions. A very satisfied repeat customer and physician in Palm Desert, CA.
