Laser Treatment for Chickenpox Scars
Smoothen and Resurface Skin with Precision Laser Therapy at Varsity Clinic
Chickenpox scars, though a common after-effect of childhood or adult varicella infection, can leave behind lifelong textural depressions or marks on the skin. These scars often appear as deep pits or crater-like indentations, especially on the face, and may resist conventional skincare or cosmetic treatments.
At Varsity Clinic, we offer advanced laser treatment for chickenpox scars to safely resurface the skin, stimulate collagen regeneration, and restore a smoother, more even texture. This minimally invasive procedure is an effective solution for those looking to reduce scar visibility without surgical intervention.

How Laser Treatment Helps
At Varsity Clinic, we use high-precision fractional laser systems that deliver focused beams of light into the scarred skin. This process:
- Breaks down damaged tissue
- Stimulates fibroblast activity and collagen remodeling
- Enhances cellular turnover and tightens the surrounding skin
- Leads to visible smoothing of indentations and textural irregularities
Over a series of sessions, scars become shallower, less visible, and blend better with the surrounding skin tone and texture.
Suitable Candidates
Laser treatment is appropriate for:
- Adults with chickenpox scars that are at least 6–12 months old
- Individuals with good general skin health and no active infections
- Patients looking for permanent scar improvement
- Men and women who wish to avoid surgical scar revision methods
Patients with darker skin tones can also be safely treated using customized protocols and appropriate laser technology.
Understanding Chickenpox Scars
Chickenpox scars usually fall under the category of atrophic scars, which occur when the skin fails to regenerate fully after healing from the infection. The result is shallow or deep indentations, often on the cheeks, temples, or forehead. Since these scars involve dermal damage, topical creams alone are rarely effective.
Laser resurfacing is one of the most trusted medical solutions to improve these scars permanently.
Expert Care at Varsity Clinic
Laser scar revision procedures at Varsity Clinic are performed under the guidance of Dr. Pranjal Joshi (MBBS, MD Dermatology, FIADVL – Dermatosurgery, FACSI – Lasers), an internationally trained Cosmetic Dermatologist and Laser Specialist. With over 11 years of experience and specialized training from Rome, Singapore, and Austria, Dr. Joshi brings clinical excellence and aesthetic precision to every laser treatment.
Before starting the procedure, a comprehensive skin assessment is conducted to identify scar depth, skin type, and treatment suitability. Sessions are performed with topical anesthesia to ensure comfort, and post-treatment care is shared to support safe healing.
Treatment Plan
Depending on scar severity, patients typically undergo 3–5 laser sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Each session takes about 30–45 minutes, with mild redness or sensitivity lasting a day or two. Gradual improvement is visible from the second session onward.
