I think as it's been stated, it really depends on the individual.
The large majority of my visible scars are very faded. And unless you get close, it just kinds of blends in to one big marred surface.
I don't really worry about them being seen. They are part of me. If I'm really worried about it, I just cover them up with some foundation, and that seems to work fine.
I haven't harmed regularly in years, and I've basically stopped doing it on my arms.
Well done on the achievement!!!
