Best way to remove a circular pitted chicken pox scar? (Photo)

Asked By:sofiap2000 in Gainesville, FL

I've had this circular chicken pox scar (see pictures) next to my nose since I was a baby. I received 2 laser treatments when I was younger but each treatment cost $300 and I wasn't seeing the improvement I hoped for. I have done a lot of research online and have found vastly different recommendations for my type of scar. What would be the best way to fade/remove my scar? punch excision? microdermabrasion? a filler? Should I consult a surgeon or a dermatologist?
