Scar Tissue Causes: First Step In Scar Removal Skincare

Those red marks, brown spots, gaps and bumps in your skin have GOT TO GO! But how do we get rid of it? By really knowing it =)Acne scar removal and facial scar treatment are HUGE skin care issues (very geplex in mechanics, too) that are severely lacking in effective solution and inadequately addressed by the current marketplace. That's why I've struggled and probably why you're struggling too!Well here I am to turn a struggle into something FUN. Because, once you learn the basic underworkings of how scars form and how they work, and follow the step-by-step action plan I propose my series of Acne Scar and Scar Removal Guides, you'll finally bust through the acne scar removal struggle (and eradicating other types of surgical or light facial scars) and see your original perfect skin shine through!Over the last 2 years I researched massive medical information and tested everything available on the marketplace on my own skin. I have used many scar removal creams and serums, made my own home remedies, I even went for intense pulse light and laser scar treatment procedures. Check My About Me Page My experiences will help you cut through the trial and error and learn how to choose the right scar removal treatment. Get smart, take the right steps, you CAN recover your skin to its original perfection!Step 1: Evaluate Your Scar ConditionThere are 3 basic types of skin scarring and each needs its own unique scar removal action plan for you to see results.1) hyperpigmentation scars- this means that your scar is darker in color than the surrounding skin. This is the primary problem that I have the most experience with. Your fresh acne scars or new surgery scars are usually under this category. The scar is either bright red or dark red, then over time dulls into a dark brown. What happened is that when your skin undergoes trauma (either through an erupted pimple, oversqueezing a pimple, or via skin wounds like a rash, eczema, bug bite, cut, or blemish) the cells underwent enormous inflammatory reaction. This is especially evident in sensitive skin types and richly pigmented skin tones. During this inflammatory reaction, your pigment cells went on overdrive, meanwhile your fibroblasts (skin cells) started producing scar tissue in a desperate attempt to heal your wound as fast as it possibly can. Because of the structure of scar tissue, the overproduced inflammatory pigment gets locked into the scar tissue matrix and can't be quickly metabolized by your natural skin turnover process. The results is a darker color spot or patch because fast build up of scar tissue super inflammatory bio agents pigment over-reaction = dark red scarring. Yuck!2) depressed scars - this means that your scar site is the same color but dented inwards from the general skin surface. This one really sucks, especially the "ice-pick" scars, because it makes your skin looks rough and uneven and the shadowing is very difficult to cover up with makeup or concealers. This happened because your wound was especially deep or very unaccustomed to by your skin, and when your skin cells were trying to recover your wound, they produced very tough scar tissue with very high tension so your wound could heal ASAP. Nope, your skin cells could care less about how you look. They just want to heal that gaping wound, fast!This kind of scar tissue is sometimes impossible for your natural skin's scar dissolving mechanism to penetrate. There is also some misalignment and problem with the surface tension in your skin's structure, causing the depression or "dent". Your skin's natural wound healing and scarring mechanism is very sensitive to mechanical surface tension of the wound, your fibroblasts use tension to detect the severity of trauma and respond accordingly. Because there are delicate mechanisms at work here, your fibroblast skin cells are easily "confused" by the different tensile forces and after they built the scar tissue to cover the wound, they either stopped mid-project and "forgot to finish plumping up" the site of wound and replace the scar tissue with normal skin collagen, OR, they simply couldn't get through the overly tough scar tissue wall they've built up during the "time of emergency."3) raised scars - following the above explanation, in this case your fibroblast "forgot to stop" weaving the scar tissues... and piled it up, causing your site of wound to pile up scar tissue in a way that raises above your normal skin surface. They went into overdrive and built up a lot of tough scar tissue!Okay now that you know about scar tissues form, why each look the way they look, as well as identifying the specific scar condition you want to fix, let's go and take some ACTION!Go to: Step 2 - Breaking Down the Scar Tissue
