Skin Healing Concerns & Tips

Lesions or scars left on facial skin, chest or back are usually caused by acne inflamation that has come and gone. There are two general classes of acne scars, defined by tissue reaction to inflammation:

(1) Scars caused by exaggerated tissue formation, and

(2) Scars caused by loss of tissue.

Scars Generated by Increased Tissue Generation.

The creation of scars caused by exaggerated tissue formation is known as keloids. Keloid scars are associated to disproportioned amounts of the cell substance, collagen. The overproduction of collagen is the body's reaction to injured skin cells. This excess becomes piled up in fibrous masses, resulting in a characteristic firm, smooth, irregularly-shaped scars.

The typical keloid scar is 1 to 2 millimeters in diameter, but some may be 1 centimeter or larger. Some people with relatives who have developed keloids scars are more susceptible to suffer from the same condition.

Keloid scars will be with you for years, but may diminish in size over time.

Scars Generated by Loss of Tissue

Acne scars associated with loss of tissue, similar to scars that result from chicken pox, are more typical than keloids. Scars associated with loss of tissue are:

Ice-pick Scars or Pitted Scars

Usually appear on the cheek. They are typically small, with visible jagged edges and steep side-like wounds that seem to form an "ice-picked" shape. When touched, ice-pick scars may be soft or hard; they can affect the skin superficially, or reach the deeper layers. Soft scars can be treated by stretching the skin; hard ice-pick scars cannot be stretched out.

Depressed fibrotic scars

Are commonly quite large, with sharp edges and steep sides. When touched, the base of these scars feels firm. Ice-pick scars may change into depressed fibrotic scars over time.

Soft scars

Superficial or deep and 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 commonly fairly small when they appear on the face, but may be a centimeter or more on the body. They are soft, often with a slightly wrinkled base, and can be bluish in appearance because of the 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

They are more likely to appear on the chest or back of a person with acne. These are tiny, white, soft lesions, often slightly raised above the surface of the skin somewhat like whiteheads that didn't fully develop. This condition is usually known as "perifollicular elastolysis." The lesions may persist for months to years.

Organic Ingredient Revolutionizes Acne Scar Treatment

You can hope that your tissue imbalance can be treated with common chemical-based acne treatments that promise freeing your skin of acne breakouts, but that are incapable of treating the scars that are left behind after and acne inflammation has subsided. By using these products you will likely end-up with a coarser texture that may present side-effects such as sun sensitivity, irritation or simply show no change at all. Your best bet is to use organic ingredients that bring collagen production back-up to normal and help 'disintegrate' and regenerate scars.

The majority of all regenerative ingredients contain natural oils, but only one ingredient is capable of supplying a balanced mix of ingredients that trigger skin rejuvenation. That miraculous component comes from a snail and is considered the newest revolution in skin and scar treatment. Investigation has shown that snail secretion contains a balanced mix of naturally occurring elastane, vitamins, allantoine, glycolic acid and collagen, however, you have to keep in mind that complete scar renewal depends on the treatment itself and the extension of the scar.

So next time you look at your skin and wonder why all the acne creams you've tried haven't changed a thing, try using an natural ingredient that treats and regenerates scarred skin.
