People from all over the world have little insecurities that drive them mad. Whether their insecurity is a birth defect, a deformity caused from an accident, or an unpleasant feature of the body, everyone has at least one insecurity. A business emerged focusing on these insecurities, and it strives to alleviate the stress brought into peoples’ lives by them.
