Can a chemical peel help with old chickenpox scars?

These are best treated with subcision and fillers with or without microneedling.  Photos or an in person consultation would be beneficial.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Chemical peels can offer great results for certain skin concerns, like acne and dark spots, but the best treatment for texture in the skin (i.e.: scars from chickenpox) is laser therapy. Laser therapy, like Fraxel, works at a cellular level of the skin to promote collagen remodeling which is the key to soften unwanted texture. A series of Fraxel treatments in combination with a good skin care routine will substantially soften the appearance of unwanted texture in the skin. A series of Fraxel treatments, usually about 4-5 treatments, should be spaced about 4-6 weeks apart to allow for proper collagen remodeling. Patients will achieve their optimal results about 4-6 months after the last Fraxel laser treatment. Seek treatment by an experienced board-certified facial plastic surgeon, general plastic surgeon, or dermatologist.
