Burn scars are usually not removed.
Hello Bridy
Unfortunately burn scars do not lend themselves to removal. There are topical solutions that can be applied to scars to minimize the appearance. There are also newer techniques being tried and you can look for improvements in burn scar treatment in the next few years through some of the lasers that are being developed. Hang in there.
