Asked By:colleen1692 in Philippines, PH

I have chicken pox hole on my face specifically on my cheek, forehead and on the chin area. However, the most obvious one is on my cheek as I have a chubby cheek. Is Fractional C02 Laser would help to flatten those pitted scar? Or any recommended effective treatment that will take effect in weeks or month. Thanks in advance!
