Chicken Pox scars and treatment
The only way to completely remove them is to excise them. This would replace a divot or depressed scar with a linear scar. Other alternatives which have been performed but generally produce less desireable results are subcision with fillers or excsion with punc grafting and subsequent dermabrasion. Lasers or peels have litttle to offer, in my opinion.
