If you can plan your visit to Delhi , we can offer you fractional laser technique. For this you may need 4/8 sessions depending on the depth , 2 months apart

Chicken pox scars and pigmentation need specific therapy once the active infection has settled. Most of them resolve without leaving marks and scars if appropriate therapy (Usually Aciclovir â an antiviral drug) was started in the golden period (within 3 days of having chicken pox). Many of them can still resolve spontaneously in a time frame of few weeks. The remaining stubborn ones need appropriate therapy based on the amount of scarring and pigmentation.
Next Steps
You can call for few centres in your neighbour hood clinics, Q switched laser is a standard treatment option and shall be available for sure.
