Natural Scar Removal

Most wounds result in some type of scar. The appearance of these scars depends of the damage of the wound as well as how the individual body deals with healing. A sure fact is that the deeper the wound, the more severe the scar; therefore, those who have suffered deeper wounds and consequently have unsightly scars are likely to explore scar removal options.



Types of Scars



If you are considering scar removal, you need to also take into account what kind of scar you have. There are many types of scars that result from wound healing. Keloid scars are unique in that they progressively grow beyond the bounds of the original wound into a raised irregular shaped mass of scar tissue. They occur when the body over produces collagen during the wound healing process. Hypertrophic scars remain within the limits of the wound but are also large raised scars due to high collagen amounts. Contractures are scars that result as a loss of tissue and usually caused by burns or other surface injuries. Facial scars are different in that they are generally caused by acne. They can range in shape and depth depending on the type of acne the person suffered.



Natural Scar Treatment



Current burn, hypertrophic, and treatment for acne scars include many that are unnatural, for example, laser therapy, skin grafting, steroids, and other types of surgeries. However, we will look at more natural options for scar reduction.



Vitamin E: This vitamin is a strong antioxidant that is found in capsule or liquid forms. It has been shown to penetrate layers of skin and reduce the formation of free radicals that can interfere with healing. It also influences the production of collagen.



Onion Extract: Onion, or Allium cepa, is a popular ingredient in common scar removal creams. This botanical has been found to have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It is also thought to regulate collagen.



Topical Honey: For centuries people has used common honey in dressing wounds and burns. It has been shown to serve as an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial and some think that it stimulates the growth of new tissue. Some studies have been done on a specific type called manuka honey.



The Real Answer



As much as we would love to believe that these simple at home fixes could do magic to remove acne scars and other types, there has just not been enough reliable evidence that proves the success of these home remedies. There have been little or no results from scientific studies of these natural elements. That's why we did a little more research to find out if there was anything out there that was natural and truly effective for scar removal, and sure enough we found the answer! Organic skin care products have recently begun to add a new ingredient which has been getting excellent feedback from scientists. This ingredient is a type of snail serum, scientifically known as Helix Aspersa Muller. The serum is taken from a common ground snail and was found to share similarities in skin characteristics with humans. This serum's regenerative property that has been proven to be effective on human skin has shown to be a wonder cream for scar prevention and scar healing. It controls collagen production, triggers cell communication and binding, serves as the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory as well as an anti-itch agent. It also deeply moisturizes the skin and keeps it healthy during the healing process. The increased cell communication enables the body to identify and break down damaged cells, including those that form scar tissue. Therefore, acne scar removal happens when scar tissue cells are broken down and what is left are the elements needed to rebuild and restore healthy new cells and beautiful skin.
