Scars are a natural part of healing, but keloids can grow beyond the original wound, creating thick, raised areas that may feel itchy, tender, or even restrictive. Unlike regular scars, keloids continue to expand over time and don’t fade on their own. At Embrace Dermatology, we specialize in minimizing keloid scars through targeted treatments that reduce their size, smooth texture, and prevent regrowth.
Treatment
A combination of treatments is often the most effective way to minimize keloid size and prevent regrowth.
At Embrace Dermatology, we tailor keloid treatment to each patient’s needs, focusing on flattening, reducing discomfort, and preventing recurrence. Treatment options may include:
Reduces inflammation and helps shrink keloids over time.
Freezing small keloids to stop excess scar tissue growth.
Targets and smooths keloids while improving skin texture.
Carefully excising larger keloids, often combined with additional treatments to reduce recurrence.
