Fraxel laser treatment or excision for childhood chickenpox scar?

February 1, 2017
Asked By:hirotan in Toronto, ON

I have 1 large, and 2 smaller chickenpox scars that I've had since I was three. I visited a couple of skin clinics, both of which did not offer surgical treatments (only laser). The first clinic said that they would not be able to improve it much with laser treatments and suggested I should get excision. The second clinic had a free consultation with a nurse who said they could improve it 70% over three treatments (I left feeling unconvinced). Still, I'm wondering what the best options are.
