Keloids develop due to an overly aggressive healing process, extending beyond the original injury’s size. Factors contributing to their formation include:
Keloids pose a cosmetic concern and can sometimes impair movement when located over a joint, causing both physical and emotional distress. Our team is dedicated to providing effective treatments to reduce scar appearance, relieve pain, and improve skin aesthetics.
We specialize in advanced keloid removal, addressing each lesion comprehensively to prevent recurrence. Our range of treatments is designed to meet each patient’s unique needs, ensuring personalized care that targets both cosmetic and functional concerns.
Laser therapy offers a noninvasive keloid removal option. It utilizes focused light to diminish their size and redness. This method improves the scar’s appearance and texture without incisions, making it ideal for sensitive or highly visible keloids. Our team is committed to delivering exceptional care. We combine our dermatological expertise with the latest techniques to provide optimal results for our patients.
Keloids can be effectively treated with surgery. During the procedure, the lesion and a margin of healthy surrounding skin are cut out to ensure complete removal. Depending on size and location, the wound is closed with sutures, adhesive strips, or skin grafts. Surgical excision aims to remove the entire keloid because if any tissue remains, there is potential for the scar to return. Combining this method with other treatments, like radiation therapy or steroid injections, helps lower the chance of recurrence. Overall, surgical removal is considered when keloids are large, painful, restrict movement, or are unresponsive to first-line nonsurgical procedures.
Steroid injections are a common method of treating scars and preventing recurrence. They help soften and flatten the lesions. Injections are typically given once a month. The steroid suppresses inflammation and reduces collagen production (which contributes to scar tissue formation). These injections can shrink keloids significantly, especially when combined with other procedures, like surgery, silicone sheets, laser therapy, and radiation. Consistency with the injections and follow-up treatment is essential for managing keloids.

Our approach to treating keloids is comprehensive and patient-centered. We understand the distress and discomfort these scars can cause, and our dedicated team is committed to providing effective solutions tailored to each patient’s needs. Here’s an overview of how we conduct keloid removal:
The first step is an in-depth consultation with one of our dermatology specialists. During this meeting, we discuss your medical history, previous keloid procedures, and treatment goals. This is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and express any concerns you may have.
Our experts conduct a thorough examination of your keloids, assessing factors such as size, thickness, and location. This evaluation might include imaging tests to understand the lesion depth and plan the most effective treatment strategy.
Based on the assessment, we develop a personalized keloid removal plan. It may involve a single treatment method or a combination of therapies to ensure the best possible outcome. We explain each recommended option, including what you can expect during and after the procedure, potential side effects, and the anticipated timeline for results.
