Do you look or feel as if your skin has been damaged by being deeply stabbed with a sharp ice-pick?
Ice pick scars or pitted acne scars are deep, very narrow scars that extend into the dermis. They seem to make a small, deep “hole” in the skin because there is loss of tissues caused by an exaggerated inflammatory reaction of our own immune system to lesions to the cells lining the sebum canals or hair follicles. Some may look like a large, open pore.
During an inflammatory reaction, the underlying collagen structure within the dermis is disrupted. The lack of collagen and fibrin tissue causes the skin to “sink”.
Your immune system reacts with inflammation and swelling, or an army of microscopic macrophage soldier cells firing massive chemical weapons to be able to destroy hardened sebum that injures the cells lining the walls of the sebum ducts and to unblock the pores. They even kill some of your own cells… and leave you with those ice-pick holes on your face.
The immune system does that for a VERY good reason, as beauty is not its concern. It’s a matter of life or death. For the foreign matter that inflicts injures to the cells lining the sebum ducts is doomed, by your immune system, capable of compromising your whole body.
Some ice pick acne scars are small in diameter but deep, while other pitted or ice pick acne scars are wide and shallow.
They are normally found on the cheeks and are called ice pick because of the appearance of an indentation on the skin, as if stabbed with an ice pick.
The milder form of acne, called non-inflammatory acne or comedogenic acne normally recovers without any complications. Although sometimes acne may cause post acne hyperpigmentation (discoloration), especially in Asian skin types.
Unfortunately, some people suffer from the more severe form of acne and have constant break outs covering the face, and sometimes the neck, back, chest, and shoulders. These pus-filled pimples and cysts can cause deep pitting and scarring.

Order NowIce pick acne scars develop after an infection from a cyst or when other deep inflamed blemish works its way to the surface. Skin tissue is destroyed, leaving a long column-like scar.
Luckily there are a number of new procedures now available that complement or surpass previous scar revision techniques. But for the ice pick acne scars and boxcar types so far the only available solutions are:
Punch excision and grafting: for deep ice pick scars, the only effective treatment is complete removal of the scar. A small, round, cookie-cutter-like device (called a punch) is used to cut out the scar and the edges of the wound are then sewn together with a suture. In this case, a deep, large scar is traded for a tiny line scar that can later be treated to further blend into the rest of the skin.
Larger scars can be removed and then filled with a skin graft, taken from your own skin, usually behind the ear. Grafts are later contoured with dermabrasion to blend them into the rest of the skin.
Laser resurfacing: Following the surgical removal of ice pick scars, most patients benefit from skin resurfacing using one of several lasers. The laser treatments result in soft, smooth, un-scarred skin by removing surface layers of the skin.
Laser resurfacing is one of the most useful techniques in the treatment of acne scarring. With this procedure, thin layers of skin are removed, until the scars improve or disappear. At the same time the skin tightens to help smooth out the scars.
Laser resurfacing is often combined with one or several other treatments for acne scars, and this combination approach consistently yields superior results compared to other therapies. In most cases, the surgical treatment of scars is completed prior to laser resurfacing. The laser treatment is scheduled 6 to 12 weeks after the last surgical treatment to allow your skin time to heal and remodel.
If you have already experienced these treatments, you can now apply BIOSKINCARE which contains the BIOCUTIS serum to relieve the side effects of the laser burning and to speed healing and skin regeneration. The serum is packed with skin regenerating accelerators.
BIOSKINCARE avoids the side effects of laser resurfacing, and can be used in conjunction with isotretinoin drugs while acne is still active to strengthen the otherwise fragile skin caused by the drug and thus avoid the side effects of the drug.
The cream made with Helix Aspersa Müller Glycoconjugates (BIOCUTIS Serum), when applied to your skin, goes to work to rebuild the skin and get rid of imperfections.
The serum reduces the acne scar by dissolving all non functional or damaged tissues and by making the amino-acid components in them available to rebuild the collagen and elastin back to the pre-scar levels.It also increases the levels of water holding molecules –glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans- in the previously dry damaged skin.
Once the enzymes penetrate deep in the epidermis and start dissolving damaged skin cells and tissues, skin renewal activators in the complex start stimulating new collagen and elastin production.

I had 2 extremely noticeable ice pick acne scars on my right cheek from acne and they are much lighter and smoother now. Hopefully they will continue to fade with the use of this product.”
Steph Gottsch. SC, USA
“I have been using the cream for about 7 weeks now and I love it. I have noticed a reduction in my deep cystic acne scars caused by to 30 years of acne breakouts. I have had in the past 2 dermabrasions and several chemical peels, years of glycolic acids which reduced the scars somewhat but the cream is definitely working better than all those methods. It has such a calming soothing effect in general on the skin that compares to nothing else I have come across in my search. I believe that it will take time, perhaps about a year, for them to heal at the rate it is going. (…) I am so grateful that I found BIOSKINCARE! ”
