Why do we Scar?
Summary: Scars can appear after almost every dermal injury. While for some people they are something unimportant, some others can end with aesthetical scarring, deformations and even functional alterations.

I love this stuff, it really seems to be working.
H. S., France
Scars are the final stage of the normal continuum of mammalian wound repair. The ideal end point would be total regeneration, with the new tissues having the same structural, aesthetic, and functional attributes as the original uninjured skin. Scarless skin healing occurs in early mammalian embryos and complete regeneration occurs in smaller vertebrates, such as lizards, and some invertebrates (spineless creatures).
What, if any, are the benefits of scarring, and why do we scar?
A reasonable hypothesis is that wound healing is evolutionarily optimized for speed of healing under septic conditions, where a multiple and redundant, compensating and rapid inflammatory response with overlapping cytokine and inflammatory cascades allows the wound to heal quickly to prevent infections and future wound complications. Scars may therefore be the price we pay for evolutionary survival after wounding.
Skin scarring: the clinical problem
Scars arise after almost every dermal injury-rare exceptions include tattoos, small scratches, and punctures of veins to take blood samples. Scars are frequently considered unimportant, but they can be disfiguring and aesthetically undesirable and cause severe itching, tenderness, pain, sleep disturbance, anxiety, depression, and disruption of daily activities. Other psychosocial sequelae include development of posttraumatic stress reactions, loss of self esteem, and stigmatization, resulting in diminished quality of life. Physical deformity as a result of scar contractures can be invalidating. Many scars take several years to pale and mature.
In spite of some suggestions to the contrary, scars cannot yet be made to disappear. Many people arrive at plastic surgery clinics with unrealistic expectations. Clinical judgment is required when considering treatment, balancing the theoretical benefits of the different treatments available against the likelihood of a poor response and possible infectious complications.
There is considerable quantitative and qualitative variation in scarring potential between individuals and even within the same individual. Scars are usually worst in the deltoid and sternal regions and best in intraoral tissues, showing biological and mechanical differences between such sites. Wounds in adolescents and young adults normally results in worse scarring than does similar injury in elderly people, reflecting the altered inflammatory and cytokine profile of old wounds, which in many respects are similar to those of the early embryo. Individuals with dark skin are more prone to severe skin scarring than white people.

Scars and their Causes
Keloids formation
Robles DT, Berg D.
Division of Dermatology, Department of Medicine, University of Washington Medical Center, PO Box 356524, Seattle, WA 98105-6920, USA.
Wound repairment process is a complex and carefully regulated physiologic response to a traumatic injury. Deregulation of this coordinated process can lead to exuberant scar formation as seen in keloids and hypertrophic scars.
Despite their common occurrence, keloids remain one of the most challenging dermatologic conditions to successfully treat and may have significant psychosocial impact for the patient. In this review, we discuss the clinical features, genetics, epidemiology, and treatment of keloids.
BIOCUTIS skin treatment products
BIOSKINCARE™
Moisturizer and natural skin care product that activates the regeneration of injured cells and restores the capacity of the skin to hold in water from within. Renews the lipid barrier thereby impeding the penetration of allergens and toxins. Induces the reproduction of antimicrobial peptides on the surface of the skin and within the skin follicles contributing to control bacteria. Regulates the network of capillaries that bring oxygen and nourishment to skin cells. Signals the immune system it is being taken care of and does not need to fire its immune responses and overly react to minor injuries thus avoiding the loss of tissues that characterizes deep pitted scarring. Breaks down dysfunctional and damaged tissues into their amino acid components while stimulating their replacement with new healthy skin structures. Repairs skin damaged by glycolic peeling and other chemical peels, dermabrasion or laser resurfacing. By strengthening the skin it relieves the undesired side effects caused by retinoic drugs that thin the skin -taken in or used topically to halt nodular cystic acne-. Is a potent antioxidant thus helping to reduce the damaging effects on the dermis of sun burns and too much exposure to solar radiation. It also helps to heal blisters, bruises, wounds, and the effects on the skin of toxic radiotherapy or radiodermatitis. 50 gram (1.76 oz) jar = $59.98 and for two or more 20% off.
BIOSKINEXFOL™
A home micro-dermabrasion cream with high quality micro-crystals, the same that professionals use to breakdown and polish away hard, rough and old scar tissues. It allows for a deeper penetration of our all natural skin moisturizing and regeneration complex that is combined with the crystals in the microdermabrasion cream.120 gram (4 oz) jar = $79
BIO STRETCH MARK CREAM™
Helps to prevent pregnancy stretch marks, strengthen fragile skin, firm sagging breasts and body areas and reduce cellulite. It also works for newly formed stretch marks and scars, while BIOSKINEXFOL is recommended for old, rough and raised marks. This product is similar to BIOSKINCARE, although in a more economic container, with 6 oz. For use preferably on the body, not on the face, for it contains a higher concentration of our natural biological complex which results in an invisible film that retains in moisture by occluding the area where it is applied and could feel a little tacky on the face depending on how oily is your facial skin. 6 oz (180g) tottle = $119.00
BIOSKINCLEAR™
Oil free moisturizing gel for acne, rosacea and facial scars, for people with very oily skin complexion. The product is based on the natural glycoconjugates compound produced by a little creature to function as its powerful immune modulator and skin regeneration trigger. Removes dead cells, unclogs sebum canals and dissolves scar tissues by enzymatic hydrolysis, without peeling. Promotes the secretion of antimicrobials on the skin surface that keep micro-organisms at bay and controls acne bacteria. Boosts the production of glycosaminoglycans, the molecules that hold in water in the dermis, thus truly moisturizing the skin from within. Communicates to your immune system that you are being taken care of and can moderate an otherwise extreme inflammatory reaction that may end up destroying healthy skin cells together with bacteria and sebum that has turned into a foreign matter. 50 gram (1.76 oz) airless pump bottle $49 and 20% off for two or more.
BIO SKIN REJUVENATION™
Same cream base and enzymes as in BIOSKINCARE to "digest" or dissolve blemishes, speed skin turnover, moisturize and tighten skin, and two added ingredients: a natural pigment reducer and a human growth factor peptide, derived from the melanocyte-stimulating-hormone that blocks melanin synthesis, and inhibits the formation of unwanted pigmentation, allowing control over skin tone and brown spots. Leaves skin bright and refreshed! 50 gram (1.76 oz) jar = $69.98.
