How Can I Get Rid of my Acne Spots and Chicken Pox Scars? (photo)

Depending on the depth of scarring, either microdermabrasion or Dermaroller treatments may reduce the appearance of "pitted" scars. Keep in mind that microdermabrasion is a less abrasive treatment but will require more sessions. As for any discoloration or dark spots, a series of chemical peels may eliminate this issue. Typically, these services are offered in a dermatology office and/or medical spa.

After evaluating your photo, I recommend that you speak to your dermatologist about having a series of Fraxel laser treatments. The Fraxel laser treats both post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from old acne, as well as pitted scars from chicken pox in the past. Most patients require a series of 4 treatments for optimal improvement. Additionally, the Fraxel laser is safe and effective for use on skin of color.
