There are mainly two types of acne scars: pitted or depressed and pigmented.

Pitted acne scarring is caused by a loss of tissue derived from damage to underlying skin tissue. Depressed scars have an "ice-pick" look, with sharp jiggered borders, or can be softer scars, looking much like scars left over from chicken-pox.

Pigmented scars are red or brown spots left behind after an acne lesion has disappeared. Pigmented scarring is the most usual and while it is not forever, it can take weeks or months for it to disappear if left on its own. Often, the scar has not faded away before a new set of blemishes arrive - causing a perpetual cycle of flawed skin that can leave many sufferers of acne depressed about the condition of their skin. Some people may have found a treatment that keeps their blemishes under control - only to find that the red or brown marks remain - impeding their skin from looking completely clear and acne-free.

Both pitted acne scars and pigmented acne scars can be alleviated with biological solutions if used regularly twice a day every day for a period of time, which can be approximately 8 to 12 weeks depending on how deep and old are the acne marks.

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

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

There are no undesired effects with these solutions, whatsoever. Within a month of using biological solutions twice a day ever day, you will see an important improvement 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 decrease in acne breakouts. If you are still breaking out, you will see that the scars will be greatly reduced in size - and the spots they leave behind will vanish very quickly.
