I'm 24 years old and I had chicken pox when I was 3-4 years old. I have scars all over my body but the facial scars bother me the most. I love with them, but I would get rid of them in a heartbeat. I have a combination of different scars though. Please help, I live in NYC and I want to get rid of the scars before my 25th birthday this December. Thank you in advance.
