Once acne inflammation appears, induced by bacteria infection in clogged pores, a person may develop several different lesion types. Smaller red bumps are called papules. Larger red bumps are called nodules. Often times, a lesion will have a yellowish white color. The color is due to pus that has collected on the inside of the lesion; this lesion type is called a pustule.

Acne scars are left behind, often permanently, after the lesion is healed. Acne scarring appears when acne is irritated, often by direct touching of the affected area. In order to decrease the risk of acne scarring avoid the use of oily cosmetics on the affected area. The affected area should be regularly cleansed, and should not be squeezed. The lesions can be aggravated if you pick and squeeze them before they're ready to be drained. In addition to the risk of scarring, doctors often warn patients not to squeeze facial acne for the rare risk that the infectious material can go into parts of the brain, implying severe complications such as seizure, stroke, and even death.

The Severity of Acne Scars Depends on Many Factors

Some of the most important factors such as the race of the person, the age, and even corporal weight and eye color can influence the severity of an acne scar. Acne is more common in boys, although both sexes and all ages are affected. As a rule of thumb, commonly the younger the person, the more minimal the consequences of scarring. Also, the tendency towards developing acne is an inherited trait. The good news is that the condition tends to disappear after adolescence.

Biological products contain exclusive skin regenerating substances and natural antibiotic proven effective for the treatment of acne scarring. They not only work for the elimination of raised keloid scars and to minimize pitted or ice pick scars, but also prevent scarring and act as a biological remedy for adult and teen acne. This biological skin renewal ingredient is gathered from the secretions left on his paths by the Chilean snail Helix Aspersa Muller. Exactly the same substance this snail uses to quickly regenerate his own shell and skin when injured. After years of demonstrated effects, scientific recognition and the invention of a patented procedure to make it into a topical cream, is now presented as a biological remedy.

The bioactive ingredients and the peptides in these creams trigger the formation of new elastic cells, collagen and pigment, filling in scar cavities. They will also reduce (digest) and replace the old fibrous collagen created to repair injured tissues. The first evident effect is a softening of the skin. The ultimate healing is achieved when new 'invisible' hair, called lanugo, comes thru the restored hair follicles.
