Although keloids are technically ‘harmless,’ these large masses of tissue can be bothersome and downright unsightly. And depending on their size and location, they can also be a major source of physical and emotional pain. The good news is that it’s possible to remove or improve the appearance of these scars through a wide range of non-surgical keloid removal treatments (such as superficial radiation therapy or laser skin treatments) and avoid surgical removal.

Using the latest technology in reconstructive and cosmetic procedures, The Keloid Plastic Surgery Center team with its plastic surgeons can help you with the right treatment plan. Our goal is to achieve skin that you’re proud of through non-surgical keloid and scar removal treatments, including compression therapy, injections, and more.

KELOIDS

What are Keloids?

Keloids, also known as hypertrophic scars, are a type of scar in which the body produces excessive scar tissue. They are often larger than the original wound and tend to be raised and hard to the touch. Keloids can occur anywhere on the body and cause pain, itching, or burning sensations.

Keloids form after any type of injury to the skin, including acne scarring, surgical incisions, and insect bites. Furthermore, those with a family history of keloids or who have dark color skin are at a higher risk for developing this fibrous tissue.

Benefits of Non-Invasive Keloid Treatments

If you have one or more keloids and hypertrophic scars, you may have fiddled with the idea of getting them surgically removed. But contrary to popular belief, surgical excision (i.e., removing the excess tissue, like a keloid, with a sharp scalpel) is not always the best treatment choice for keloids.

Why? Because keloids form an overactive response to wound healing after a skin injury, which means that making a new incision to remove them can trigger the formation of even more scar tissue and worsen skin conditions.

At the Keloid Plastic Surgery Center, we offer effective, non-surgical treatments to address a variety of cosmetic concerns.

In other words, if you’re prone to developing keloids, it is very likely that undergoing a surgical procedure to remove them (which involves creating a new wound in the skin), will cause the keloid to form again shortly after the procedure.

Non-invasive scar removal treatments, on the other hand, have been shown to have a lower recurrence rate because they work with your skin to curb inflammation and excess collagen formation.
