Acne 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 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 aim of an acne 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 scarring, is often not possible, but scar treatment does usually improve the appearance of your skin.

The best way to prevent acne scars 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. What we offer is not a drug or pharmaceutical product but a completely natural product that for scar healing that is not designed to replace medical advice.

BIOSKINREPAIR ™ is a cream that absorbs quickly and helps to prevent scarring and speeds up the regeneration of skin cells. It is made from a substance gathered from live creatures (Chilean Snails, without any harm to them). The natural substance is a complex compound that combines natural peptides that fight acne infection and skin regenerating biological activators that help to dissolve marks, shrink scar tissues and prevent and repair scarring. It also cleans and opens clogged pores.

The natural antibiotic action of BIOSKINREPAIR ™ is very effective against skin infections and without the pitfalls of pharmaceutical antibiotics or the side effects of harsh chemicals. BIOSKINREPAIR ™ 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 also benefit significantly and permanently from the disciplined application of BIOSKINREPAIR ™, although for rough and old acne scars we recommend our BIOSKINEXFOL cream to effect a microdermabrasion for acne scars. Results with microdermabrasion 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
