There are basically two kinds of acne scars: pitted or depressed and pigmented.

Pitted acne scarring is caused by a loss of tissue that results from harm to underlying skin tissue. Depressed scars have an "ice-pick" appearance, with sharp jiggered edges, or can be softer scars, appearing much like scars derived from chicken-pox.

Pigmented scars are reddish or brown spots left behind after an acne lesion has disappeared. Pigmented scarring is the most common and while it is not permanent, it can take weeks or months for it to disappear if left alone. Often, the scar has not faded away before a new set of blemishes appear - causing a perpetual cycle of disfigured skin that can leave many sufferers of acne depressed about the look of their skin. Some people may have found a treatment that maintains their lesions under control - only to discover that the red or brown marks remain - preventing their skin from looking fully clear and acne-free.

Both pitted acne scars and pigmented acne scars can be treated with biological solutions if applied regularly twice a day every day for a period of time, which can be more or less longer than 8 to 12 weeks depending on how deep and old are the acne marks.

Results for loss of tissue can take longer if harm to tissues is too extended or has been going for too long. In this case other solutions can be necessary and alternatives are: microdermabrasion, deep chemical peelings, fat injections, cosmetic fillers or laser surgery.

Some biological solutions work due to the action of a unique component in them. The only fluid made by a living creature to heal skin when injured and to fight bacteria, in situations much like those dreaded by acne sufferers. It is a mucin secreted by the humble land snail for many biological functions. Among them to fight bacteria, shield the skin from ultraviolet rays and oxidation by free radicals. And, what is of far most importance for acne sufferers, to dissolve flawed skin cells and replace them with new healthy collagen, elastin and all the structural elements of normal skin, including the water holding molecules. This will help support the underlying layers of the skin - further minimizing the depth and appearance of the scars.

There are no side effects with these solutions, whatsoever. Within a month of using biological solutions twice a day ever day, you will see an important change in the softness and color of your skin. Pigmented acne scarring will be highly alleviated and the general texture of your skin will be softer and smoother. Within 4 weeks of use, you will also notice an important reduction in acne breakouts. If you are still breaking out, you will see that the blemishes will be greatly reduced in size - and the spots they leave behind will vanish very quickly.
