What Are Keloids?What Are Keloids?
Keloids are benign overgrowths of scar tissue that extend beyond the boundary of an original skin injury. Unlike normal scars, keloids do not regress naturally and may continue to enlarge over time. They can appear on:
-
Ears (often after piercings)
-
Chest and shoulders
-
Back and arms
-
Jawline or neck
-
Surgical or traumatic wounds
Concerns Keloid Treatment Addresses
Keloid treatment may be right for you if you experience:
-
Raised, firm, or shiny scars that extend beyond the wound.
-
Scars that cause pain, itching, or sensitivity.
-
Keloids that affect mobility in joints or skin folds.
-
Visible scars that cause self-consciousness.
-
Recurrence of keloids after prior treatments.
Treatment Options for Keloids
Keloid treatment is tailored to your specific needs and may include one or more of the following:
-
Steroid Injections – Reduce inflammation, flatten the scar, and relieve discomfort.
-
Surgical Removal – Excision of the keloid for smoother skin (often combined with other therapies to reduce recurrence).
-
Laser Therapy – Improves scar texture and reduces redness.
-
Cryotherapy (Freezing) – Destroys keloid tissue, especially effective for smaller scars.
-
Pressure Dressings or Silicone Sheets – Minimize regrowth after treatment.
-
Radiation Therapy (Selective Cases) – May be used after excision to reduce recurrence.
Our team will carefully design a multimodal treatment plan to give you the best long-term outcome.
Cost of Keloid Treatment
The cost depends on:
-
The size, number, and location of the keloids.
-
Whether surgical or non-surgical methods are required.
-
The number of sessions needed for optimal results.
You’ll receive a personalized cost estimate at your consultation.
Best Candidates for Keloid Treatment
The best candidates are patients who:
-
Are in good overall health.
-
Have keloids that are growing, symptomatic, or bothersome cosmetically.
-
Understand that keloid treatment often requires a combination of therapies for best results.
-
Have realistic expectations—while keloids can be improved significantly, they may not always disappear completely.

Recovery & Results
-
-
-
Non-surgical treatments (steroids, laser, cryotherapy) usually require multiple sessions for best results.
-
Surgical excision may involve a short recovery period of 1–2 weeks, depending on scar size and location.
-
With proper care, scars become flatter, smoother, and less visible over time.
-
Long-term management and follow-up are essential since keloids have a tendency to recur.
