How to remove/reduce the appearance of an indented chicken pox scar?

PrimroseBEJan 12, 2019
(eye area, Asian skin, ca. 10 years old). I want to remove/reduce the appearance of it, but I’m unsure of what I can do since the scar is in the corner of the eye. Would it be possible to do dermabrasion or excision on the scar? What about laser, fillers or microneedling (this seems more likely)? What about TCA cross? I would prefer that the treatment was as non-invasive as possible, so I’m also wondering if chemical peels and retinol/adapalene might be a possibility. However, I’m open for some more invasive surgeries.
