After dealing with acne you also have to face the bitter reality of the scars that this facial condition has left behind. During the healing process is when the acne scars appear due to too much collagen building up in one single spot. The wound from the acne that creates the scar is in the dermis layer, this means that it is not superficial and makes it hard to get rid of. Not cleaning or treating the affected area is usually the cause of scars forming where the white and black heads used to be. Sometimes picking at acne lesions can make more harm than the acne. Different types of acne scars There are different types of acne scars under two categories, atrophic due to loss of tissue and hypertrophic which is the result of excess of tissue. These two types of categories can be divided in to four types of scaring:

Ice pick scars: The most common type of acne scaring. This scar consists of a narrow pit forming in the dermis.

Boxcar scars: These scars are similar to chicken pocks scars, they have angular edges and are usually round or oval shaped.

Rolling scars: These scars have a wave-like appearance, they are usually shallow and wide.

Hypertrophic or keloid scars: These are raised and kind of lumpy scars that can spread beyond the original wound. These are most commonly found on the back and chest, but can also appear in the neck and face area.

The usual case is that you have a combination of the different types of scaring. There are several treatments available on the market, but is there any natural treatment that really works?

Treatments based on biological serum There is an alternative natural acne scar treatment based on biological serum. This acne scars treatment is mother nature's own way of taking care of your skin, the serum comes from a snail called Crystomphalus Aspersa which has got a similar type of skin that we do, no chemist in a laboratory is able to recreate the immune system of a living creature which makes this serum one of a kind. Since the treatment is totally natural and does not harm your skin in any way you can go through the treatment even if you still suffer from existing acne, this is sometimes a problem if you chose another treatment option.
