What would happen if i burned my stretch marks? will that get rid of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fractional laser: Stretch marks can be improved in their appearance through the use of fractional laser such as the fraxel laser, or by using a micro-needling technique. Unfortunately there is no perfect solution for stretch marks at this time. Burning your stretch marks would cause worsening of their appearance, and can lead to permanent scarring. See a board-certified plastic surgeon for help.
