The best treatment for pox marks is a subcission followed by a filler. The best filler for this is Bellafill.

Some chicken pox marks respond very well to filler injections. In my experience, the best choice is Restylane. In some instances, micro-needling with radiofrequency is very helpful as well. Rarely is surgery performed, except in extremely deep pox marks.

Depending on the severity of the scars, we sometimes recommend using a CO2 laser. This laser is one of the strongest lasers and will help resurface the scars and encourage collagen reproduction.

Hello and thanks for your question. Chicken pox scars can be challenging to treat and usually require several treatments and, at times, more than one modality. It is hard to comment without photos or knowing how deep/severe.

Chicken pox scars can usually be helped with laser resurfacing or actually cutting them out (coring them).

Honestly, nothing will completely remove chicken pox scars. However, there are laser procedures that can minimize the scarring and help with overall texture and tone of the skin so that they are less noticeable. An aggressive laser procedure used successfully to minimize scarring on the face is the microlaser peel. Procedures such as a microlaser or deep peel have more downtime (at least 5-7 days).
