I have had a fully ablative co2/erbium laser on my cheek for chicken pox scars. The big one is below and there was a little one above. The dermatologist applied the laser on the whole skin (between the 2 scars which was normal). I am 3 months post procedure and still red, and noticed some holes in the skin that werent there. Is this normal ? Im afraid experiencing other scarring in addition to old ones. And the big scar which is elevating to the surface seems bigger Thank u
I have chicken pox hole on my face specifically on my cheek, forehead and on the chin area. However, the most obvious one is on my cheek as I have a chubby cheek. Is Fractional C02 Laser would help to flatten those pitted scar? Or any recommended effective treatment that will take effect in weeks or month. Thanks in advance!
I had this scar since I was a child after chickenpox and it started to bother me lately . I went to a doctor who told me that co2 fractional laser is the best solution for this . I want to know if the laser could be affective and help me out or no .
I am planning to have subcision on a couple depresssed chicken pox scars, followed by laser to build collagen. I was also reading the suction can help the effectiveness of subcision. Wondering if this can be doing with laser though, or if it would disrupt the healing from the laser? I wouldnt do suction till several days after laser.
hello, I hope everyone is okay. I just have a question. I suffered from chicken pox in 2019, mistakenly I took the scab off from my forehead and ow I have three pitted scars on my forehead! Will CO2 be useful? Any suggestions and recommendations? Please? I'm very much annoyed by all this... world has progressed so much but there is no permanent solution for chicken pox scars!
Hi, I got CO2 laser done yesterday. My physician said I would only need one treatment and she gave a cream and an ointment to put on the area that has been treated by CO2 laser to get rid of beauty spots and a chickenpox scar on my nose. However, Im a bit sceptical as Im not sure if my mole and chickenpox scar would vanish. Will it come off with the scabbing? Also, Im completely avoiding sun.. is there still a chance of hyperpigmentation as I have asian skin tone. I havent seen the area.
When I was 8, I had the habit of scratching the one chicken pox area on my face that left a deep crater. Unfortunately, it left its mark nearly between my eyebrows. Since then, I have been styling my hair with side bangs to reduce and hide its appearance. I am frustrated that I cannot sweep the hair away due to the fact that this scar makes me self conscious. I am hoping any doctors out there can provide recommendations and/or treatments of any kind to reduce and/or remove its appearance.
