Scars are made up of connective tissue that develops in order to shut rapidly an opening in the skin.

Not all scars have the same appearance. Hypertrophic scars refer to those with an excess of scar tissue and protrude from the normal skin surface level. Keloids are a type of scar that is 1) raised or has an excess of scar tissue and 2) grows beyond the wound's original borders. The body's response to wounds often overcompensates and produces too much connective tissue. Keloid and hypertrophic scars treatment aims to flatten or remove excess scar tissue.

Other scar types might fall under the umbrella of atrophic scars, meaning those that leave depressions in the skin. These depressions exist because of a lack of skin tissue. Most acne scars also fall under this category, though they can range from deep pits to wave-like in appearance. Treatments for these types of scars include injections, excisions, and skin cell regeneration to try and lift up or un-tether these indentations. Scars do not usually cause medical problems but most consider them unsightly and not aesthetically appealing. When something has caused an opening in the skin, skin cells and fibroblasts, connective tissue cells, increase production rate to seal the cut. Fibroblasts build a framework that the skin cells attach to in order to close the opening. The size of the scar is determined by the proportion of fibroblasts and skin cells that are created. If the fibroblasts replicate too quickly, they can form a dense network that is not as easily penetrated by the skin cells and that results in a large and often protruding scar. If the skin cells keep up with the fibroblasts, then little scarring is formed and the skin has a more normal appearance after the wound has healed.

What can be done to minimize scar formation?

Unfortunately, even with the millions of great scar treatments out there, there is no way to get rid 100% of scars. Regardless, there are many scar treatment solutions that will decrease the visibility of your scars.

I recommend researching a natural scar therapy. These solutions combine functions. As an example, silicone scar therapy only attacks the treatment of keloid scars in one way: it reduces the extent of the protrusion by flattening the scar. It is logical then to find the best scar therapy as one that combines different methods that have been found successful: a scar healing treatment that regenerates healthy skin tissue as well as one that digests or eliminates excess scar tissue. This is especially important for treatment of acne scars, as the majority are depressed atrophic scars.

The most exciting scar removal products contain mucin, a natural regenerative substance produced by garden snails. This complex product, thanks to antibiotic and skin regenerating peptides, glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, will digest excess skin tissue, clean pores, fend off infection and repair scars.

What it does:

* Regenerates new glycosaminoglycans which improves skin firmness and elasticity,

* Increases moisture retention by producing more glycosaminoglycans,

* Improves blood circulation,

* Improves natural defense against oxidation, and

* Healing at the protective skin barrier.

BIOSKINREPAIR is a scar treatment that works from the roots of scar formation. As a natural scar therapy, BIOSKINREPAIR repairs keloid, hypertrophic, acne as well as burn scars, removing excess scar tissue and regenerating skin cells, making it a successful scar healing treatment.
