Keloids

Keloid Removal at Merakki Aesthetic Clinic

Keloids are raised, thickened scars that extend beyond the original injury site. They can be uncomfortable, itchy, and sometimes even painful. Understanding keloid removal procedures can help you make an informed decision about managing these scars.

What is a Keloid?

A keloid is an overgrowth of scar tissue that forms at the site of a skin injury. Unlike regular scars, keloids grow beyond the boundaries of the original wound and can continue to grow over time. They are often firm, rubbery, and may vary in color from pink to dark brown.

Keloid Removal Procedures

1. Steroid Injections:

Corticosteroid injections are administered directly into the keloid to reduce inflammation and shrink the scar.

Benefits: Non-surgical, minimal recovery time, and effective in reducing keloid size and discomfort.

  •  

2. Surgical Excision:

The keloid is surgically removed. This procedure is often combined with other treatments to prevent recurrence.

Benefits: Immediate removal of the keloid, effective for large or resistant keloids.

  •  

3. Laser Therapy:

 A laser is used to flatten the keloid and reduce discoloration.

Benefits: Minimally invasive, precise, and reduces the appearance of the keloid with minimal scarring.

  •  

4. Cryotherapy:

 The keloid is frozen using liquid nitrogen, causing it to shrink and eventually fall off.

Benefits: Effective for small keloids, minimal recovery time.

  •  

5. Radiation Therapy:

 Low-dose radiation is applied to the keloid area post-surgery to prevent regrowth.

Benefits: Reduces the risk of recurrence, effective when combined with other treatments.

  •  

What to Expect Post-Procedure

  • Healing Time: Varies depending on the procedure. It typically ranges from a few days to a few weeks.
  • Care Instructions: Follow the care instructions provided by your doctor, which may include keeping the area clean, applying prescribed ointments, and avoiding sun exposure.
  • Follow-Up: Regular follow-up visits may be necessary to monitor healing and check for signs of recurrence.

Are There Any Side Effects?

  • Common Side Effects: Mild pain, redness, swelling, and minor scarring at the removal site.
  • Less Common Side Effects: Infection, bleeding, or an allergic reaction to the anesthesia.
