Hello,
The laser will be the best option for chronic scar caused by chickenpox. Consult a dermatologist specialized in cosmetic intervention and plan accordingly. You can also try topical steroid like triamcinolone which has got promising results.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
