Best treatment for scar on my face - deep, atrophic, from shingles. 8 weeks old. (Photos)

Hannah121995
I recently had shingles which resulted in a bad rash across my left cheek. The rash scabbed over and one of the scabs has left a deep atrophic scar. I have had the scar for about 8 weeks. I’d really like to improve the appearance significantly, and I’m just wondering what the best procedure would be. As it’s quite deep I would assume it may be surgical?
