How can I remove 40 year old chicken pox scars from my legs and arms? (Photos)

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

ee if you can find someone in your area that has a ReLume or Excimer laser. Multiple treatments will be necessary.Best Dr K 

Chickenpox scars require a combination approach with subcision, fillers and lasers. It may take a series of treatments to get improvement. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Scars are hypopigmented because nothing can grow and heal a thick scarred area.  Microneedling with prp may be able to blend the skin over time. Multiple treatments will be needed. Spf30+ daily for your body is important as well.Best. Dr Brecht
