Keloid Scar Treatment – Advanced Solutions for Smooth, Healthy Skin
Understanding Keloid Scars
Keloids can develop after surgeries, injuries, burns, acne, or even minor skin trauma. They are more common in certain areas like the chest, shoulders, back, earlobes, and jawline, and are often influenced by genetics, skin type, and age.
Key characteristics of keloid scars include:
Raised, firm, or rubbery texture
Reddish or dark color
Growth beyond the original wound
Itching, tenderness, or discomfort
Unlike normal scars, keloids rarely regress on their own and often require professional intervention. Our clinic focuses on safe, effective, and long-lasting treatments to improve both the appearance and comfort of affected skin.
Advanced Keloid Scar Treatments
Our clinic combines medical expertise with state-of-the-art technology to deliver customized keloid scar treatments. Depending on the size, location, and severity of the keloid, your dermatologist may recommend one or more of the following approaches:
1. Intralesional Corticosteroid Injections
Corticosteroid injections are the first-line treatment for keloids. The steroid helps reduce inflammation, flatten the scar, and relieve itching or discomfort.
Benefits:
Minimally invasive
Reduces scar thickness
Can be combined with other therapies for better results
2. Silicone Gel Sheets & Topical Applications
Medical-grade silicone sheets or gels are applied over the keloid to soften, flatten, and lighten the scar gradually. These non-invasive methods are particularly effective for smaller or early-stage keloids.
Benefits:
Safe and painless
Improves texture and color of the scar
Can be used as preventive care after surgery
3. Laser Therapy
Laser treatments target keloid tissue by stimulating collagen remodeling and reducing redness. Fractional CO2 lasers and pulsed-dye lasers are commonly used to improve scar appearance and texture.
Benefits:
Non-surgical solution
Smoothens the skin surface
Reduces pigmentation and scar thickness
4. Cryotherapy (Freezing Treatment)
Cryotherapy involves freezing the keloid tissue with liquid nitrogen to reduce its size and thickness. This method is effective for small to medium-sized keloids and can be combined with steroid injections for optimal results.
Benefits:
Quick outpatient procedure
Minimally invasive
Reduces keloid bulk effectively
5. Surgical Excision with Adjunct Therapy
For large or resistant keloids, surgical removal may be necessary. To prevent recurrence, surgery is usually combined with steroid injections, pressure therapy, or radiation therapy.
Benefits:
Immediate reduction of keloid mass
Customized approach to minimize recurrence
Suitable for complex or extensive scars
6. Radiation Therapy
Low-dose, localized radiation therapy may be recommended post-surgery to prevent keloid regrowth. Administered carefully, it is effective and safe when performed under expert supervision.
Benefits:
Prevents recurrence after excision
Complements other treatment modalities
Highly effective for aggressive keloids
