Scar Treatment Cream
What is a scar?
The skin is the largest organ of the body, with an average surface
area of 1.8 square meters in adults. Our skin is very sophisticated.
It helps to keep us cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather and
it also prevents us from dehydrating. Our skin is constantly
shedding old cells and creating new ones, enabling it to repair
itself if damaged. It is the repair process that can result in a
scar.
A scar is an essential part of this natural healing process
following an injury to the thick layer of skin (the dermis) or the
outer layer of skin (the epidermis). Damage to the outer layer of
skin is healed by rebuilding the tissue, and in these instances,
scarring is slight. When we damage the thick layer of tissue beneath
the skin, rebuilding is more complicated. Our bodies lay down
collagen fibres (a protein which is naturally produced by the body)
and this usually results in a noticeable scar.
After the wound has healed, the scar continues to alter as new
collagen is formed and the blood vessels return to normal. This is
the reason why most scars will fade and improve in appearance over
the two years following an injury. However, there will always be
some visible evidence of the injury and hair follicles and sweat
glands do not grow back.
It is important to remember that a wound does not become a scar
until the skin has healed completely. Skin conditions such as eczema
and psoriasis and injuries such as minor burns or sunburn are not
scars because the skin is broken or still being repaired. However,
these conditions could lead to a minor scar if scratched before the
outer layer of skin is healed.
Many people have some sort of scar and
for most of them this does not cause any problems. However, this is
not true for all people. The Scar Information offered here aims to explains what scarring is and what can be done to
come to terms with it, and not only to tell you why BIOSKINCARE is a complete, balanced and natural cream that helps to get rid of scars.
How Can Scar Creams Benefit
My Healing Journey?
There are many scar healing creams, silicone gels and ointments, made of
vitamins, botanical extracts, and natural ingredients that are designed to
improve the healing of scars, help in scar reduction and make scars
far less noticeable.
Scar reduction products are supposed to work on all types of scars and help reduce the scar tissue size, thickness, height, and color of scars of all skin types and color, including new and old scars, post-surgery scars, keloids, hypertrophic scars, and other scar types caused by injury, trauma, and burns.
These scar reduction products can also help soften and smoothen the scar and limit scar growth and size. By flattening, softening, smoothing, and blending the scar with surrounding healthy skin, scar creams, gels, and sheets can help make your scar far less noticeable. Some of these scar reduction treatments can also lessen redness surrounding the scar, reduce the discomfort of itching that can occur along the scar lines, and help maintain the skin's moisture balance and elasticity of adjacent skin. Scar healing products can be effective and have benefits on fresh and old scars. For fresh scars, scar reduction products should only be applied after wounds have fully closed.
Scar Therapies for Self Use
Listed below are the main therapies which you can use yourself to
improve the appearance of scars.
Silicone Gel Sheets
Silicone gel sheeting was developed in the 1980's and has been used
by over 1 million people throughout the world. Both waterproof and
flexible, silicone gel sheets look and feel like transparent
gelatin and work by flattening, softening and fading red and raised
scars. Being flexible, they are comfortable to wear and easy to
apply, even on awkward areas such as joints. The sheet is easily cut
to fit the scar.
Current research indicates that silicone gel sheeting works by
moisturizing and covering the scar area. This helps to reduce the
size and improve the color of a scar and can improve elasticity of
the tissue. Research also indicates that improvements in the
appearance of scars are permanent.
Cica-Care is an advanced form of silicone in an adhesive gel sheet
which is used by the medical profession to reduce red or dark and
raised scars. It has recently been made available in pharmacies for
people to buy and use themselves. Cica-Care reduces both new and old
scars, red and raised scars and is safe for use by all members of
the family. Tests indicate that the average improvement time should
be between 2 - 4 months.
Vitamin E Cream
Although Vitamin E Cream is sometimes recommended for the
self-management of scars, there is no medical evidence to suggest
that it has an effect.
Cosmetic Camouflage
Cosmetic camouflage is not a scar therapy as such but it can be a
very effective way of disguising a scar, birth mark, 'port wine'
mark or vitiligo (a condition which destroys pigment in the skin
causing white patches). It is important to remember that scars are
quite different from the other conditions mentioned above, though
they can also benefit from cosmetic camouflage.

Body Cream for Scars and Stretch Marks - not for use on the face
Recommended for the treatment of stretch marks, scars, and back and chest acne. It is not recommended for facial application because it contains a higher content of our biological active ingredient, Helix Aspersa Muller Glycoconjugates than do BIOSKINCARE or BIOSKINCLEAR. This difference results in a thicker cream that leaves behind a thin protective film on the applied area. This thicker consistency is beneficial for occluding the area and keeping in moisture for a longer period of time, making the cream more effective in dissolving scars. However, its one disadvantage is that it is incompatible with make-up and may leave a thin milky looking film on your face that will quickly flake-off creating an unappealing effect.
