Hello,
There are a variety of treatment options ranging from lasers to surgical manipulation of burn scars over the face. Treatment is individualized and not everyone responds equally to the same treatment modality. Lasers can cause lightening of scars and can stimulate new collagen production leading to altered scar appearance. However, scars which are deemed resistant to this form of therapy would require manipulation by a plastic and cosmetic surgeon for best results.
