Chickenpox pitted scars can be improved but not fully erased.
Options include:
• Microneedling / Dermaroller – helps collagen remodeling
• Fractional CO₂ / Er:YAG laser – effective for pitted scars
• Chemical peels – mild improvement in skin texture
• Fillers / Subcision – for deeper scars
Best treatment depends on scar depth and skin type.
As a medical Cosmetologist, I deal with scar patients everyday and chickenpox scars are very common and can be treated with proper treatment and guidance.
