Options for shingles scar on chin? (Photo)

Question

I had the shingles in October and am left with this scar. I am wondering if there are any options that are better than others. Should I be worried about having a worse scar from serial excision ? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

A difficult scar to eliminate. I would start with our Hidef Scar Revision that includes subcision, fillers, PRP SC, and fractional laser first. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

This can be improved with a laser spot treatment, subicision for blending, microneedling/prp and fillers. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer
