Facial scarring is usually caused by scars that were left behind by an acne inflamation. There are two main types of acne scars, defined by tissue reaction to inflammation:
(1) Scars generated by exaggerated tissue formation, and
(2) Scars generated by loss of tissue.
Scars Caused by Increased Tissue Formation.
The creation of scars caused by exaggerated tissue formation is called keloids. Keloid scars are associated to disproportioned amounts of the cell substance, collagen. The overproduction of collagen is the body's reaction to damaged skin cells. This excess becomes piled up in fibrous masses, resulting in a characteristic firm, smooth, irregularly-shaped scars.
Keloid scars are 1 to 2 millimeters in diameter, but some can reach 1 centimeter or larger. Some people with relatives who have developed keloids scars are more susceptible to suffer from the same condition.
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, like scars resulting from chicken pox, are more typical 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 characteristically jagged edges and steep side-like wounds that seem to resemble 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 usually big in size, with sharp edges and steep sides. The base of these scars is firm to the touch. Ice-pick scars may change into depressed fibrotic scars over time.
Soft scars
Superficial or deep and feel soft when touched. They have gently sloping rolled edges that combine 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 can be bluish in appearance due to the blood vessels located just under the scar. Over time, these scars fade from bluish to ivory white in color in white-skinned people, and become much less noticeable.
Follicular macular atrophy
They are more likely to occur 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 something like whiteheads that did not fully develop. This condition is usually called "perifollicular elastolysis." The lesions may persist for months or even years.
Acne Scars Treated with Natural Ingredient
You can try and treat this imbalance in tissue production with common chemical-based acne treatments that promise ridding your skin of acne breakouts, but that are incapable of treating the scars that are left behind after and acne inflammation has subsided. By applying these products you will likely end-up with a drier skin texture that may present side-effects such as sun sensitivity, irritation or simply show no change at all. Your safest bet is to use natural 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 repair. That miracle component comes from a snail and is becoming the newest revolution in skin and scar treatment. Studies have shown that snail secretion contains a combination of naturally occurring vitamins, glycolic acid, allantoine, elastane and collagen, however, don't forget that complete scar renewal depends on the treatment itself and the extension of the scar.
So next time you look at your acne scar in a mirror and wonder why all the acne treatments in the world haven't changed a thing, try using an natural ingredient that can help regenerate scarred skin.
