Chickenpox Scars

To the Editor Of Won n-ns Pace:
Dear Madam have a few scars on
my face caused by chickenpox. Now
went to a beauty specialist, who said
that she could remove them, but, as the
price she named is very high, I feel sort
of afraid to risk It, and therefore ask
YOU If you think It possible to remove
same.
Some people have told me that since
they are not so bad, they thought that
when I reach twenty-one and my skin
changes. as they say every skin does al
that age, the marks will most likely
disappear.
viii you please tell me II this Is true,
Xxx
Most beauty specialists do not guar
antee to absolutely remove these scars
but they can be made lighter and vii
often disappear entirely by massag
treatment.
The skin does change every sever
years. and. since these marks are no
so very deep, they will disappear II
