Multiple treatments are available for chicken pox scars, which include dermabrasion, microdermabrasion, laser treatments, dermal fillers, chemical peels, micro needling and the combination therapy. We report our experience with chicken pox scar treated by volume enhancement with autologous fat injection followed by microdermabrasion.Depressed part of the scar was taken care by adding Volume (lifting) with fat grafting and pigmentation component of the scar was taken care by microdermabrasion.
