Hi. how to remobe brown burn scars marks completely on face caused by hot knife on face by a woman while waxing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Time vs bleaching: Time is likely your best friend along with silicone cream and sunblock. Bleaching creams with kojic acid, retin a (tretinoin). Hydroquinone and steroid may also help but need to be prs ecru ed under supervision of a physician..
