Scars

Think of your skin as fabric wrapping our vital organs. Tears in this fine fabric can alter its appearance.  Injuries to our skin may lead to scarring. These particular types of injuries include burns, trauma and surgery. Most scars never completely go away. Fibrous tissue replaces normal skin and the arrangement of this collagen is in a different pattern. This scar tissue lacks the elasticity of normal skin as well.  And while scarring is a natural part of healing following injury, depending on the location of the scar, it may negatively affect your overall appearance.  

  • Keloid scars generally result from an overly aggressive healing process.  These scars extend beyond the site of the original injury.  Movement might be limited and they most commonly occur in people with darker complexions.

  • Contracture scars usually form on burned skin.  Movement may become limited as they contract.  This scarring may affect the deeper tissues.  

  • Hypertrophic scars are generally raised, red scars that extend beyond the boundary of the injury.

  • Acne scars are pitting that can be angular or wavelike in appearance.

  • Stretch marks occur when the skin is stretched rapidly.

Anamê Vio has a variety all natural and organic skin treatments that contain ingredients that help in the reparative process following injuries to our skin.  The elixir serum and both the body emulsion and facial repair creams contain blueberry and rosehip oil.  These key ingredients enhance and encourage the body’s natural repair process. 

Blueberries have the pigment anthocyanin which gives blueberries their natural color.  It also is a powerful antioxidant protecting our skin from the effects of free radicals.  Free radicals may damage cellular DNA and accelerate the aging process.  Rosehip is rich in essential fatty acids which help in the tissue and cell regeneration.  Combining these powerful ingredients creates a product that repairs our skin and treats expression lines, dark spots, wounds, and scars.  Rosehips and blueberries are also rich in vitamin C which is an important element in collagen production.  Vitamin C must be carefully extracted from rosehips otherwise much of it will be unusable.  Anamê Vio Organic Beauty extracts the vitamin C to retain as much of its natural efficacy as possible.
