What is RUYS
Roll Up Your Sleeves is a movement dedicated to those who are suffering the physical scars from mental illness including, self-harm, NSSID, drug abuse, and suicide attempts. Many people find it difficult to move forward from the stigma attached and the constant reminders branded on their bodies. We would like to offer a solution, free of cost, to anybody suffering in silence. Your struggle does not define you, and neither do your scars.

Meet Michelle Borth

Meet Dr. Rivkin
Dr. Alexander Rivkin, a Yale trained facial cosmetic surgeon and Assistant Clinical Professor at the David Geffen, UCLA School of Medicine, provides his self-created procedure completely pro-bono. “I was elated that a five- minute procedure would have such an impact on oneʼs quality of life. The five minutes it took to erase the scars that had caused so many years of shame and anxiety were the epiphany to start Roll Up Your Sleeves.”
