The scars on my body tell the story of the most painful years of my life.
Removing them is the beginning of my next chapter.
So Id scratch my arms until my nails drew blood, leaving my shoulders raw and stinging.
The relief was fleeting, lasting only until the cycle began again.

But you don’t want to wait 10 years, so we make a run at speed the process.
Im also considering addinghydroquinone, an intense skin-lightening ingredient, into my treatment to help lighten the discoloration.
Mentally, Im now the strongest, happiest, and most confident Ive ever been.
And I refuse to let these scars take that from me.
And so far, itsworking.
The difference is incredibly subtle, but I can see it.
