I have chicken pox scars on my forehead and the right side of my face. I am getting married next year. Is there any treatment to hide them completely?

There are multiple treatments available for scars which can give good cosmetic results. For brown-black or red marks, Q switched YAG laser or laser toning few sessions to break down the pigment deposits below skin may give adequate results. Small depressed scars can be treated by Er:YAG laser which ablates the scar to produce new tissue to replace the damaged skin. Microneedling radiofrequency may work for depressed scars as well; it releases radiofrequency energy from small needles below skin which stimulates production of new fibres to raise the skin. Bigger scars may sometimes need surgical correction where they can be totally excised from skin. A combination of the procedures may be required for full results. Please visit a dermatologist who can properly assess your scars and give you appropriate advice. Starting treatment several months before your marriage is recommended for letting the skin heal on time.
