Anyone who remembers his childhood scrapes and bruises has probably heard many times “Don't pick that scab, you'll just make it worse!”.

Tissue damage triggers a rapid blood clotting, and injuries are repaired by the production of new epidermal cells.

When you remove a scab, you are also removing some of the newly regenerated tissues growing underneath, thereby interfering with the healing process.

What is Wound Healing?

A tissue injury via an incision is generally followed by bleeding.

The cascade of vasoconstriction and coagulation begins with clotted blood immediately impregnating the wound, leading to hemostasis, and after dehydration, a scab forms.

An influx of inflammatory cells follows, with the release of cellular substances and mediators.

Angiogenesis (growth of blood vessels) and re-epithelization occurs and the deposition of new cellular and extracellular components ensues.

The Wound Healing Process in detail.

Wound healing is a complex and dynamic process of restoration of skin cell structures and tissue layers.

The process of wound healing is composed of various steps that lead to the development of scar tissue in replacement of tissue that has been injured.

The human adult wound healing process can be divided into 3 great distinct phases:
1- the inflammatory phase
2- the fibroblastic phase
3- the scar maturation phase

The inflammatory phase occurs immediately following the injury and lasts approximately 6 days.

The fibroblastic phase occurs at the termination of the inflammatory phase and can last up to 4 weeks.

Scar maturation begins at the fourth week and can last for years.

These three phases include various processes: chemotaxis (cmemical attraction of repair cells), phagocytosis, neocollagenesis, collagen degradation, and collagen remodeling.

In addition, angiogenesis (new cappilaries), epithelization, and the production of new glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans are vital to the wound healing milieu.

The culmination of these biological processes results in the replacement of normal skin structures with fibroblastic mediated scar tissue.

This process can produce an exuberance of fibroblastic proliferation with a resultant hypertrophic scar, which by definition is confined to the wound site. Further exuberance can result in keloid formation where scar production extends beyond the area of the original insult. Conversely, insufficient healing can result in atrophic scar formation like in stretch marks.

How to enhance the Wound Healing Process?
We have discovered a natural skin care substance that triggers the regeneration of collagen, elastin and the water holding molecules of healthy skin.

BIOSKINCARE™ CREAM is a non-prescription solution that works wonders in the treatment of skin bruises, skin burns and abrasions. It also helps to heal hypertrophic scars and grafts, independent of the affected body zone (face, neck, breast, body and hands).

The cream acts by triggering the replacement of damaged skin cells with healthy new cells and by favoring loss of excess pigmentation in bruises, scrapes, burned skin and in scars. It prevents further scarring. It also helps the quality of skin graft texture.

BIOSKINCARE

Deeply moisturizing natural skin care cream that triggers the regeneration of damaged cells and replenishes the lipid barrier of the skin while preventing and removing scars from accidental injuries and post surgery; stretch marks; hypertrophic and keloid scars; keratois pilaris, actinic keratosis, dermatitis, psoriasis scales and all types of skin blemishes. Also good for the relief of side effects of isotretinoin acne drugs and radiotherapy.
