Scars from acne can seem like double punishment -
first you had to suffer through the pimples, now you have marks to remind you.
Is there anything you can do?
A scar, or cicatrix in medical terminology,
is a mark left in the skin by the healing of a wound, burnt or surgical incision
in which the normal functional tissue (skin) is lost (depressed scar) or
replaced by connective tissue (hyperthropic or keloid scar).
Acne Red
Mark
Some spots on the skin may look like scars but are not scars for no
trace of them will remain after a while. But even though they are not true scars
and will disappear in time, they are visible and may cause embarrassment.
Macules or "pseudo-scars" are flat, red or reddish spots that are
the final stage of most inflamed acne lesions. After an inflamed acne lesion
flattens, a macule may remain to "mark the spot" for up to 6 months. When the
macule eventually disappears, no trace of it will remain—unlike a
scar.
Post-inflammatory pigmentation is discoloration of the skin
at the site of a healed or healing inflamed acne lesion. It occurs more
frequently in darker-skinned people, but occasionally is seen in people with
white skin. Some post-inflammatory pigmentation may persist for up to 18 months,
especially with excessive sun exposure. Early treatment with a topical skin
repair balm can minimize the development of post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Topical treatment with GLYCOBALM can quickly vanish those
acne marks.
GLYCOBALM is a balm that absorbs quickly and is made
from a biological complex gathered from live creatures (Chilean Snails, without
any harm to them). It contains both natural antibiotic peptides that fight acne
infection and bio-available enzymes and peptides that vanish red marks and
prevent and repair scars.
Causes of Acne Scars
Scars form at
the site of a lesion. They are the visible reminders of lesions and tissue
repair. In the case of acne, the lesion is caused by the body’s inflammatory
response to sebum, bacteria and dead cells in the plugged sebaceous follicle.
Two types of true scars exist: (1) depressed areas such as ice-pick scars, and
(2) raised thickened tissue such as keloids.
Repair of Acne scars with
GLYCOBALM
The wound healing process is comprised of three overlapping
phases: inflammation, proliferation, and maturation.
During the
inflammatory phase, blood vessels contract and red blood cells clot the
wound while white blood cells swarm to the damaged area in an effort to clean up
any contaminants and protect the site from infection.
Then, during the
proliferate phase, both skin cells and connective tissue cells
(fibroblasts) begin multiplying to repair the damage. The fibroblasts form a
framework upon which the skin cells can migrate into and fill in the wound. It
is the balance between the rate of replication of fibroblasts versus skin cells
that is important here. If the fibroblasts replicate too quickly, they can form
a dense network that is not as easily penetrated by the skin cells and that
results in a large scar. If the skin cells keep up with the fibroblasts, then
little scar tissue is formed and the skin has a more normal appearance after the
wound has healed. But sometimes the process does not yield new tissue and an
eroded area is left over. Here is where GLYCOBALM plays an important role,
because of the bio-active ingredients from the natural snail secretions that it
contains.
During the maturation phase of a wound, also known as
the remodeling phase, new collagen is formed to create a scar. Collagen is a
fibrous protein which gives a new scar its characteristic bumpy look. With
recovery, the collagen is broken down and the scar flattens and shrinks. Scar
maturation left on its own usually takes at least a year. GLYCOBALM contains
both collagen and elastin connective tissue cells and it stimulates new collagen
formation speeding up the scar maturation process.
Occurrence of
Scars
The occurrence and incidence of scarring is still not well
understood, however. There is considerable variation in scarring between one
person and another, indicating that some people are more prone to scarring than
others. Scarring frequently results from severe inflammatory nodule cystic acne
that occurs deep in the skin. But, scarring also may arise from more superficial
inflamed lesions.
Nodule or sometimes called an acne "cyst": It is the
most severe form of acne lesion. A nodule is a large, deep-seated, pus-filled,
often painful lump. Acne with nodules often results in permanent scarring and
requires treatment by a physician.
The life history of scars is also not
well understood. Some people bear their acne scars for a lifetime with little
change in the scars, but in other people the skin undergoes some degree of
remodeling and acne scars diminish in size.
People also have differing
feelings about acne scars. Scars of more or less the same size that may be
psychologically distressing to one person may be accepted by another person as
"not too bad." The person who is distressed by scars is more likely to seek
treatment to moderate or remove the scars.
The role of
GLYCOBALM
GLYCOBALM™ acts as an exfoliant eliminating dead
cells, destroys pathogens, heals and regenerates damaged tissue. It nourishes
your skin and protects it from free radicals. Improves the skin's elasticity,
and leaves it silky soft and soothed.
Once inside the follicle the
bio-available compound in GLYCOBALM will stimulate the formation of new elastic
cells, collagen and pigment, filling in scar cavities. It will also shrink and
replace the old fibrous collagen formed to repair damaged tissues. Soon new
'invisible' hair, known as lanugo, will come through the restored hair follicles
in those areas. It will also "pump" up the cells and the "ground substances" in
the skin. That also reduces wrinkles on the surface of the skin.
The key
to skin renewal is a process where (1) the skin is irritated or slightly damaged
by exfoliating agents (such as glycolic acid contained naturally and in a low
dose in GLYCOBALM) or mildly damaged by other procedures ("sanding" by
dermabrasion or burning by laser). This is followed by (2) a natural rebuilding
of the skin that removes imperfections, rebuilds collagen and elastin fibers
that tighten skin, and increases the amount of glycosamoinoglycans, the
moisture-holding proteins that give skin its firmness. The stronger the
exfoliation or skin damage, the stronger is the skin rebuilding action.
Unfortunately, strong exfoliation causes strong skin irritation with itching,
burning, and pain. And the results of laser resurfacing or dermabrasion depend
on the skills of the practician. However, to get good results it is imperative
skin healing progresses at rapid pace. Here is where GLYCOBALM plays its
role.
GLYCOBALM, as the snail's slime it is made off, contains a low
dose of glycolic acid combined with skin regenerating accelerators. When used as
a long term skin care routine (2 to 4 months) it may be as good as a short term
strong chemical peel or a skilled dermabrasion procedure. The skin regeneration
accelerators are: enzymes and special proteins and peptides (amino-acid chains)
that signal the body to start reproducing human skin cells as quickly as for the
repair of the snail's skin.
What our customers say: "WOW!!! I am truly impressed by this product. I have been using it for over a month now, and my skin has barely been breaking out at all. The large red spots, and pitted scars are disappearing, and I think that in time they may actually be gone forever. Thank you so much for producing this product, and give your little snails a pat on the back for me."

GLYCOBALM for Acne Treatment
A gentle yet powerful solution for acne breakouts and even stubborn acne cysts that have not been amenable to other treatments
This acne cream yields what no other natural acne product does for recurrent stubborn acne and acne cysts because of the synergistic benefit of combining our biological serum with the most potent botanicals:
a) Inca Inchi Oil the richest vegetable oil in Omega-3 fatty acids. A powerful anti-inflammatory and with the ability to correct the deficit of linoleic acid in hair follicles which is a trigger of immoderate inflammatory reactions from our immune system. The oil is also a factor that reduces sebum output;
b) Helix Aspersa Müller Glycoconjugates, the miraculous serum, from a living creature with skin similar to human skin who never suffers from skin infections and acts as an effective adaptogen, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, trigger of skin repair and skin regeneration, and enzyme dissolver of blocked pores;
c) Licorice Root Extract (*) an antimicrobial with potent activity against acne bacteria, anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, antioxidant, and an inhibitor of sebum production;
d) Alpine Willow herb extract (Epilobium Fleischeri) a botanical source of keratolytic salicylic acid in a natural form, and an antimicrobial;
e) Essential oil from the roots of Coleus Forskohlii with strong antimicrobial activity and a strong medicinal smell that you might not appreciate for about 20 minutes until it fades away.
The smell is a small price you pay for an "essential" component of BIOSKINFORTE for it activates many of your more than 10 million olfactory receptor neurones. But its nothing = "nada" when compared to the value you get: the strongest remedy that effectively heals and contains acne breakouts without any side effects on your body or skin. You always have the choice to behave as if you were a warrior and just use the product without previously messing with your nose inside the jar.
f) Hyaluronic Acid a glycosaminoglycan (also present in the snail serum) that deeply moisturizes the skin and restores the capacity of the skin to hold in water;
g) An extract from the fruit of black pepper which enhances the penetration of the active ingredients.
Apply a little of this acne cream twice a day on all the area affected by acne cysts or stubborn pimples (whole face, chest or back).
