Keloid Treatment

Keloids are raised, firm, overgrown scars that can cause discomfort and affect appearance. At our clinic, we offer advanced, dermatologist-led keloid treatments—including precision injections, lasers, and combination therapies—to flatten keloids, reduce symptoms, and prevent recurrence.


What Are Keloids?

Keloids are thick, raised scars caused by an overactive healing response. They extend beyond the original wound and may:

  • Itch or hurt
  • Grow in size over time
  • Feel firm or rubbery
  • Occur after acne, piercings, vaccinations, burns, or surgeries
  • Affect cosmetically sensitive areas like the chest, shoulders, earlobes, and jawline

Early treatment ensures better outcomes.


Keloid Treatment Options We Offer

Intralesional Steroid Injections (Mainstay Treatment)

  • Reduces inflammation
  • Flattens the keloid
  • Softens and smoothens texture
  • Relieves itching and pain
  • Done at 3–6 week intervals

Safe, effective, and highly targeted.


Intralesional 5-FU / Combination Therapy

For stubborn or large keloids

  • Combines steroid with 5-FU
  • Provides faster flattening
  • Reduces recurrence
  • Improves cosmetic outcome

Laser Therapy (Fractional / Vascular)

  • Softens and thins thick keloid tissue
  • Improves texture and redness
  • Enhances responsiveness to injections
  • Ideal as an add-on therapy

Cryotherapy (Freezing Treatment)

  • Best for small keloids
  • Reduces thickness and hardness
  • Often combined with injections for superior results

Silicone Gel / Pressure Therapy

  • Non-invasive supportive therapy
  • Reduces recurrence
  • Softens scars over time

Surgical Removal (Selective Cases Only)

  • Used for very large or resistant keloids
  • Always followed by injections or radiotherapy to prevent regrowth

We customize the treatment plan to ensure the flattest, softest, and smoothest possible outcome.


What to Expect During Keloid Injection Sessions?

  • Area cleaned thoroughly
  • Numbing cream may be applied for comfort
  • Small amount of medicine injected into the keloid
  • Session time: 5–10 minutes
  • No downtime—resume normal work immediately

Pain level: Mild and tolerable
Frequency: Usually once every 3–6 weeks, depending on response


Aftercare and Healing

  • Apply ice for a few minutes if mild soreness occurs
  • Avoid picking or scratching
  • Follow-up sessions are important for best results
  • Use sunscreen on exposed areas
  • Apply prescribed silicone gel or cream regularly

Improvement is gradual but consistent with proper treatment.
