The Biology of Scar Treatments
What can scar products actually do? A scar is the consequence of our own body curing a wound or injury inflicted to our skin or other tissues. Damage to the external layer of the skin is cured by regenerating the tissue, and in these cases, scarring is minor. When damage affects the thick layer of tissue beneath the skin, regenerating becomes more complicated. Our bodies accumulate collagen fibres (a protein which is organically synthesized by the body) to reconnect the skin tissues and this usually results in an evident scar.
After the wound has cured, the scar continues to change as new collagen is formed and new blood vessels are created. This is the reason why most scars will disappear and improve in look over a period of two years after 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 Improve The Healing of my Wounds?
There are many scar healing patches of silicone, creams, ointments and products elaborated with vitamins, botanical extracts, and natural ingredients that are designed to boost the curing of scars, help the scar treatment with the fading and make scars less evident.
Not all Scar Treatment Creams are Alike
Natural skin care in the curing of wounds or injuries is a process that entails harmonized orchestration between the various cells, organs and products of the immune system that do the masterful job of maintaining our natural integrity.
Platelets and inflammatory agents are the first to arrive at an injuredsite and give key functions and ’signals’ necessary for the arrival of supportive tissue cells and a new blood supply. This stage is called inflammatory phase and is characterized by redness, swelling, heat and pain.
The arrival of wound macrophages is a marker that the inflammatory stage is nearing the end and a proliferative stage is commencing. Lymphocytes (white blood cells that help the body combat infection) come into the wound area at a later stage.
Natural Serum Key to Scar Benefits
A mucin secreted by land snails is being researched due to its healing abilities. A complex compound of molecules that include glycoprotein enzymes, proteoglycans, copper-haemocyanin, glycosaminoglycans and oligoelements that contribute to repair skin and affect every stage of the process that repairs skin damage and leads to minimum scarring or perfect healing.
In the inflammatory stage the copper-haemocyanin in the snail mucins, enhances rapid wound re-oxygenation for better collagen creation. And the enzymes in the natural ingredient present “collagenase activity” which helps to digest or dissolve damaged proteins.
A new scar cream treatment is now available to help you to treat all kinds of skin imperfections. Made with natural ingredients, BioSkinCare gives you the alternative of a scar treatment that actually rebuilds new skin.
