There are mainly two kinds 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 edges, or can be softer scars, looking much like scars derived from chicken-pox.

Pigmented scars are red or brown marks left behind after an acne lesion has disappeared. Pigmented scarring is the most usual 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 victims of acne depressed about the look of their skin. Some people may have found a treatment that keeps their blemishes under control - only to discover 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 applied with discipline 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 scars.

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 options are: deep chemical peelings, cosmetic fillers, microdermabrasion, fat injections 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 damaged and to fight bacteria, in situations much like those dreaded by acne patients. It is a mucin produced by the humble land snail for many biological functions. Among them to fight bacteria, protect 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 structural elements of healthy skin, including the water holding molecules. This will help support 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 a significant change in the softness and color of your skin. Pigmented acne scarring will be highly improved and the general texture of your skin will be softer and smoother. Within two months of use, you will also see a significant decrease in acne breakouts. If you are still breaking out, you will find that the scars will be greatly reduced in size - and the marks they leave behind will vanish very quickly.
