Punch excision for chicken pox scars on my forehead and nose? (Photo)

Punch excision of indented scars, which is a form of surgical removal followed by stitching, runs the real risk for the subsequent development of stretch scars and even tram track stitch marks, especially when performed in areas under tension or subject to a great deal of movement. I have a patient with these problems just yesterday who had undergone excision elsewhere performed of two boxcar acne scars on his right cheek and then developed stretch scars and stitch tracks at both sites that now required me to treat. Consider instead, subcision, a simple, minimally invasive technique for elevating and smoothing all kinds of indented scars, including chickenpox scars that has a nearly three decades long, proven record for efficacy and safety in all skin types. Hope this helps and best of luck.
