At Revrse, we hear stories every day about strength, courage and resilience. Sometimes, those stories come with visible reminders of the journey, scars.
We are passionate about empowering people to feel their best. While some live with scars without a second thought, others find that visible scars can quietly affect self- confidence, identity and the way they move through the world.
Scars tell a story – one that not everyone wants to remember. They can represent injury, pain, violence, illness, or loss.
The Impact of Scars on Confidence
Research supports what many already know is true: scars can influence how we feel about ourselves.
- 44% of women in a U.S. survey say that improving the appearance of their skin imperfections like stretch marks or scars would help boost their overall self-confidence.
- Medical literature echoes this, showing that scars from surgery, accidents, acne or burns are often linked to negative body image, anxiety, depression, diminished quality of life and social avoidance. (1)
- For younger adults, especially cancer survivors, visible scars are statistically associated with feeling less attractive. (2)
- A survey of over 11,000 adults found that scars are strongly associated with lower quality of life: interfere with clothing choices, recreation activities and sexual life. (3)
