Scar Types
The spectrum of scar classifications.
Skin tissue repair process can lead to a broad spectrum of scars, ranging from a "normal" thin line to a variety of abnormal scarring, including widespread scars, atrophic scars, scar contractures, hypertrophic scars, and keloid scars.
Widespread (stretched) scars appear when the fine lines of surgical scars slowly become stretched and widened, which use to happen in the 3 weeks after surgical intervention. They are typically flat, pale, soft scars often seen after knee or shoulder surgery. Stretch marks (abdominal striae) after pregnancy are another type of widespread scars in which there has been injury to the dermis and subcutaneous tissues but the epidermis is unbreached. There is no elevation, thickening, or nodularity in mature wide-spread scars, which distinguishes them from hypertrophic scars.
Atrophic scars are flat and depressed below the surrounding healthyskin. They use to be small and often circular in shape with an indented or inverted centre, and commonly appearing after acne or smallpox.
Scar contractures -scars across joints or skin creases at right places have a tendency to develop shortening or contracture. Scar contractures appear when the scar is not fully matured, usually tend to be hypertrophic, and are typically disabling and dysfunctional (fig 4). They use to appear after burn injury across joints or skin concavities.
Raised skin scars
Raised skin scars are described as hypertrophic or keloid scars.
Hypertrophic scars are raised scars that remain within the boundaries of the original wound, generally regressing by itself after the initial wound. Hypertrophic scars are often red, inflamed, itchy, and sometimes painful. They use to occur after burn injury on the trunk and extremities.
Keloid scars are raised scars that spread beyond the margins of the original injury.
Keloids scars are thick, puckered, itchy clusters of scars spreading beyond the edges of the wound or surgicalincision and invade the surrounding normal skin in a site-specific way. They use to be red or darker than the surrounding skin. Keloids appear when the body continues the collagen production long after the original lesion healing has taken place.
Ear lobe keloids often grow as large lobules, central sternal keloids tend to develop a butterfly shape, and deltoid keloids tend to extend vertically. A keloid keeps growing over time, does not disappear by itself, and almost always recurs after simple excision. It is difficult to apply the term "keloid" until a scar has been present for at least a year, although there is no precise time interval. Histologically, keloids have a swirling nodular pattern of collagen fibres.
Scars that are difficult to categorise have been termed intermediate scars. However, if a raised scar is still emerging after a year, a true keloid is a possible diagnosis, whereas hypertrophic scars should show some evidence of regression within this time. Keloids may be inflamed, itchy, and painful, especially during their growth phase.
Common presentations are in the ear lobe after ear piercing, the deltoid after vaccination, and the sternum after acne, chickenpox, trauma, or surgery. Keloids are unique to humans, and there seems to be some genetic predisposition, with dark skinned races being more prone to them, though there are few large epidemiological studies. They appear predominantly in people aged ten to thirty years, with an apparent predilection for emergence and deterioration during puberty and pregnancy.

Ultra exfoliate rough scars, old stretch marks, and dull skin with BIOSKINEXFOL
Home microdermabrasion cream. Contains the same natural ingredients in all our skin treatment products but infused with micro-crystals so that you may rub it with your finger tips to remove old, hard, and tough scars or stretch marks by a physical breakdown of the scar tissues. Best also for oily skin and aged skin, actinic keratosis scales and pitted acne scars. Not for keloids and not if your skin is still fragile (use BIOSTRETCHMARKSCREAM for a few months first to strengthen your skin). The compounded action of the physical abrasion and the enzymes in the cream liquefy damaged proteins more thoroughly helping to release amino-acids to aid in rebuilding damaged tissues quickly. Results are not only immediate, but compound over time and do not trigger inflamm-aging of delicate skin tissues.
Made in the USA. Two to Three Month's supply 120 grams = 4.23 oz
120 Gram Bottle: $89

A Biological Skin Treatment Serum
The biological activity in human skin of a complex carbohydrate and protein serum, collected from a live creature that produces it to regenerate its skin and organs when damaged, enhances the flow of information that is necessary to repair skin damage in an orderly, orchestrated way, with scarless healing.
The active ingredient in BIOSKIN products also has the unique ability to dissolve damaged and abnormal collagen protein fibers in the dermis where they were created to repair tears that result when skin is stretched beyond its capacity to withstand such shear forces. It does so through the action of "digestive" enzymes that breakdown proteins into their amino acid components and release them for use to rebuild healthy tissues.
When the serum is combined with lipids to make it into a cream and micro-crystals are added to the final product, it accomplishes results for old and rough stretchmarks through a polishing or microdermabrasion action, while also hydrating deeply, strengthening cell membranes and triggering an orderly regeneration of the skin.
We collect the rich biological ingredient by using a humanely method without harming any of the little creatures.
The molecular basis and evidence that explains the skin regenerative properties of the serum have been established after scientific screening and clinical trials, by scientists from the Hospital Universitario de la Princesa, Universidad Autonoma, Madrid , Spain, the Department of Biological Sciences, School of Natural Sciences, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Teaneck, N.J. , and the Dermatology Service, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, N.Y. , USA as reported in the January 2008 issue of the Journal of Pharmacology and Physiology of the Skin.
Biological Stretch Marks Treatment
BIOSKINEXFOL™
A home microdermabrasion cream with micro-crystals that breakdown hard, rough and old scar tissues, and allow for a deeper penetration of the natural skin regeneration complex that is in the cream.120 gram (4 oz) jar = $89
BIOSKINCARE™
A natural skin care cream (without the micro-crystals) that triggers the regeneration of damaged cells and replenishes the lipid barrier of the skin while preventing and removing scars after healing of burns, injuries, wounds or surgery; stretch marks; aberrant hypertrophic and keloid scars; keratois pilaris, actinic keratosis scales, dermatitis, dryness, cracked skin and all types of skin blemishes. 50 gram jar = $69.98 and for two or more 20% discount.
BIO STRETCH MARK CREAM
Prevents stretch marks, strengthens fragile skin, firms sagging breasts and body areas and reduces cellulite. It also works for newly formed stretch marks and scars, while BIOSKINEXFOL works best for old, rough and raised marks. The base cream is the same as in BIOSKINCARE, in a more economical container, with 4 oz. but for use only on the body, not on the face, because it contains a slightly higher proportion of the biological complex which results in an invisible film that retains in moisture by occluding the area where it is applied but may feel a little tacky on the face.4 oz (120g) bottle = $79.98.-
BIO SKIN REJUVENATION™
Same cream base and enzymes as in BIOSKINCARE to "digest" or dissolve blemishes, speed skin turnover and tighten skin, and two added ingredients: one is a human growth factor peptide, derived from the melanocyte-stimulating-hormone. Blocks melanin synthesis, and reduces the formation of unwanted pigmentation, allowing control over skin tone and brown spots. The other is a natural plant extract that takes away dark pigmentation. Leaves skin bright and refreshed! 50 gram jar = $79.-
BIOSKINCLEAR™
An oil free moisturizer gel for acne, rosacea and facial scars. Heals lesions to the cells lining the hair follicles which is the root cause of inflammatory acne. Removes dead cells, unclogs sebum canals and dissolves scar tissues by enzymatic hydrolysis, without peeling. Promotes the proliferation of antimicrobials that control acne bacteria. Boosts reproduction of glycosaminoglycans, the molecules that retain water, thus truly moisturizing the skin from within. Tells the body it is being taken care off and can moderate an otherwise extreme inflammatory reaction that may end up destroying healthy skin cells and creating crater like scarring and not only the acne bacteria. 50 gram (1.76 oz) airless pump bottle $59 and 20% off for two or more.
Stretch Marks Cream : Strengthens Connective Tissues Deep Within
There are many changes that will occur during pregnancy, including inevitable weight gain and dry skin. The most common problem most pregnant women worry about is stretch marks. The National Medical Board found the surprising cause to be simply dry skin. This problem is easily prevented by using a quality stretch marks treatment cream.
Diminish Stretch Marks with a Superior Moisturizing and Water Retention Cream
All Natural Stretch Mark Treatment
Thousands of women want to know how to dissolve stretch marks. They are ugly, humiliating, and they alter your confidence. They develop normally during pregnancy when the skin stretches beyond its capacity and the tears turn into deep white scars in the abdomen and lower back. Finding an effective stretch marks treatment is reliant upon improving the skin's durability and removing the existing scars. Luckily for people, dissolving stretch marks just got a whole lot simpler with a new all natural ingredient.
When applied to your skin, the unique ingredient will fuse with your own skin cells and:
* gently eliminate damaged structures and scars within the dermis and use the amino acids that the enzymes set free to activate fibroblast stem cells. This is important for improving skin strength and skin renewal.
* govern skin fibroblast proliferation and prevent excess collagen formation. This prevents and diminishes abnormal scars such as keloids, hyperthropic scarring, and stretch marks. This same action helps get rid of ice pick acne scars.
* arouse the capacity of the skin to remain moisturized by promoting the development of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, the molecules that give skin its capacity to keep in moisture. This helps to reinforce the dermis resulting in a less stretch marks and tears.
How to Avoid Pregnancy Stretch Marks
Pregnancy is a time filled with both joy and fear regarding bodily and life changes. While no one is particularly keen on stretch marks, pregnant women have a 90% chance of getting them. The following article aims to inform you about how you can prevent stretch marks during pregnancy.
Stretch marks are nothing more than a tear in the dermis that occurs when you loose or gain weight rapidly. They occur along with changes in the elastic support tissues under the skin. Many women and teenagers are prone to getting stretch marks on their breasts, arms and thighs even when they're not pregnant. Any type of weight gain or loss can lead to stretch marks, making pregnancy stretch marks on the abdomens symptomatic of the later stages of pregnancies, when the skin expands more quickly.
Three Tips to Avoid Stretch Marks
- Ingest a lot of water throughout the day
- Moisturize your skin daily
- Control your weight gain
