A scar is a mark left on the skin after a wound. Injuries that affect your skin will end in some degree of scarring. Scarring is a result of the natural healing process of our skin and the appearance of a scar depends on size, depth and location of the injury.
How does scarring occur and how can we aid our skin to get rid of scars?
As mentioned in the introduction, scarring is the natural healing process of an injury. The skin is left with a scar when the deeper and thicker layers of the skin (the dermis) are damaged. The severity of the scar will depend on the severity of the injury.
Any time our skin gets injured by, for example a cut or an acne infection, a number of different cells come to the rescue. This is the body’s way of protecting itself from damage. It is a very complex healing process that usually causes scarring.
The healing process starts with the constriction of blood vessels which create clots to minimize blood loss. A crust or scab will shape over the top of the injury. This will act as a shielding barrier against foreign substances, protecting the system whilst fixing the problem.
To repair the damage, the body has to accumulate new collagen fibers; a naturally occurring protein which is produced by our system. Collagen is a tough, fiber-like protein that makes up most of the scar tissue. In scar tissue, collagen is more abundant and more irregularly arranged.
This mechanism results in a fortuna scar which is the most common type of scarring. It is signaled by the body’s reaction of laying new collagen fibers over the wound. The body cannot exactly re-build the tissue causing the new scar tissue to have a different texture and quality than the surrounding healthy tissue. Scar tissue is usually of inferior functional quality and less resistant to UV radiation. This also implies that sweat glands and hair follicles do not grow within these areas.
How to Remove and Treat Scars
Skin affected by wounds will of course be affected by the consequences. That is why it is recommended that you apply a treatment cream to prevent possible scar formation. Other occurrences that should be treated to avoid scar tissue might include surgical procedures, cuts, accident and/or acne scars. A microdermabrasion solution that contains skin renewal activators and soft physical abrasives will efficiently remove tough and rough scars.
Scars are an inevitable consequence of a wound. Our body makes an attempt to heal wounds, but sometimes it’s difficult to avoid severe scar formation. The best recommendation is to apply a microdermabrasion cream to aid the skin to correctly remove scars.
Scars can now be safely eliminated thanks to BIO SKIN EXFOL, an organic skin care solution that embodies one of the best remedial ingredients that Mother Nature can offer.
