Dermatologists ensure that the intensity of the laser device is carefully controlled to avoid damaging the surrounding healthy skin tissue. Laser resurfacing can help lighten the color of an old scar, improve its sunken appearance and make it less visible. The laser also removes the top layer of skin, which further stimulates the growth of healthy skin. Microneedling Radiofrequency: Microneedling is one of the safest treatments for chicken pox scars. In this procedure, radio frequency energy is deposited with tiny needles into the deeper layers of the skin, triggering collagen production. The scar begins to lift as new collagen forms under the skin. This method is combined with other techniques, such as laser resurfacing, to make the results last longer. Chemical peels: Chemical peels remove the top layer of skin, which can help fade the color and depth of scars. Some of the more common agents are alpha-hydroxy acids, beta-hydroxy acids and combinations thereof (eg TCA Cross Peel).
