Chicken Pox Scars

I recommend the CROSS technique, which stands for chemical reconstruction of skin scars. It involves the application of TCA 9acid) with a toothpick in the deepest portion of the scar. This will make your body producen collagen. Repeating the CROSS procedure three or more times can greatly improve the scar. Other techniques include: - subsicision - punch removal and suturing - punch grafting - resurfacing with laser
