Keloid Treatment

Home Keloid Treatment

Keloid Treatment

Keloids are raised, thickened scars that can develop after an injury or trauma to the skin. At our clinic, we specialize in keloid treatment to help patients manage and reduce the appearance of keloids, restoring skin texture and promoting comfort.

Understanding Keloids

Keloids are an overgrowth of scar tissue that extends beyond the original wound site. They often appear as raised, shiny, and rubbery lesions that can be itchy, tender, or painful. Keloids can develop anywhere on the body but are most common on the chest, shoulders, earlobes, and upper back.

Indications for Keloid Treatment

Keloid treatment may be recommended for individuals with the following concerns:

1. Raised and Discomforting Keloids: Keloids that are causing physical discomfort such as itching, tenderness, or pain.

2. Cosmetic Concerns: Keloids that are significantly affecting appearance or causing self-consciousness.

3. Prevention of Keloid Growth: Early intervention to prevent further enlargement of existing keloids or to manage keloids that have a tendency to grow.

Types of Keloid Treatment

There are various approaches to keloid treatment, including:

1. Corticosteroid Injections: Injecting corticosteroid medication directly into the keloid to reduce inflammation and flatten the scar.

2. Surgical Removal (Excision): Surgically removing the keloid and sometimes combining it with other treatments like radiation therapy or corticosteroid injections to prevent recurrence.

3. Cryotherapy: Freezing the keloid with liquid nitrogen to reduce its size and flatten its appearance.

4. Laser Therapy: Using laser treatments to minimize the appearance of keloids and improve skin texture.

5. Pressure Dressings or Silicone Gel Sheets: Applying pressure dressings or silicone gel sheets to flatten and soften keloids over time.

Benefits of Keloid Treatment

Reduced Size and Visibility: Keloid treatments aim to reduce the size and visibility of keloids, restoring a more natural appearance to the skin.

Relief from Symptoms: Treatment can alleviate symptoms such as itching, tenderness, or pain associated with keloids.

Improved Confidence: Managing keloids can boost self-esteem and improve quality of life for individuals affected by these scars.

Prevention of Recurrence: Certain treatments can help prevent keloids from growing back after removal.

Potential Side Effects

While keloid treatments are generally safe and effective, potential side effects may include:

Skin Discoloration: Changes in skin pigmentation at the treatment site.

Scarring: Surgical removal of keloids may result in new scars, although efforts are made to minimize this risk.

Temporary Redness or Swelling: Common after certain treatments such as corticosteroid injections or laser therapy.

Recovery and Follow-Up

Recovery from keloid treatment depends on the specific technique used. Patients may experience mild discomfort, redness, or swelling at the treatment site, which usually resolves within a few days to weeks. Follow-up appointments are important to monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed.

Our Commitment to Care
