Scars change lives
Scars are a common and undermanaged problem. More than 100 million people acquire new scars each year in developed countries and the global incidence is unknown.
Scars are often considered trivial, yet abnormal scars can be esthetically distressing, disfiguring as well as psychosocially and functionally disabling.1
If you, or someone you know has a scar, then you’re probably only too aware of the impact scars can have.
Restore your self-confidence
People with visible scars often face unwanted questions, loss of anonymity and are avoided by others. They feel self-conscious and anxious in social situations, lose confidence and end up suffering from low self esteem, isolation and feelings of helplessness.
Fortunately, new treatments are now available to help people proactively treat their scars and restore their self-confidence.1-4
