Safe and Effective Skin Treatment at Skin by Dr. Nancy

Keloids are raised, thick scars that form due to excessive collagen production during wound healing. They can grow beyond the original wound site and cause discomfort, itching, or cosmetic concerns. At Skin by Dr. Nancy, we specialize in advanced keloid removal treatments designed to flatten, shrink, and eliminate keloids for smooth and healthy skin.

We use the latest medical techniques to ensure safe, effective, and long-lasting results with minimal scarring.

What Are Keloids?

Keloids are overgrown scar tissues that form at the site of a skin injury, such as cuts, burns, piercings, acne, or surgical wounds. Unlike normal scars, keloids continue to grow even after the wound has healed, leading to thickened, raised skin that may become tender, itchy, or painful.

Common Areas Where Keloids Develop

Keloids can appear on various parts of the body, including:

  • Ear lobes (from piercings)
  • Chest and shoulders
  • Jawline and cheeks
  • Neck and back
  • Arms and legs

Keloid Removal Treatments We Offer

1. Intralesional Steroid Injections

Intralesional steroid injections are one of the most effective ways to shrink and soften keloids. This treatment works by:

  • Reducing inflammation and collagen production
  • Flattening the keloid over time
  • Relieving itching and discomfort

Treatment Plan: Multiple sessions may be required for the best results.

2. Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a non-invasive technique that uses light energy to break down excess scar tissue and stimulate new skin growth. Benefits include:

  • Gradual reduction in keloid size
  • Improvement in skin texture and tone
  • Minimal pain and recovery time

Treatment Plan: Several sessions may be needed for optimal results.

3. Surgical Excision

Surgical removal involves carefully cutting out the keloid under local anesthesia. This method is recommended for:

  • Large or resistant keloids
  • Keloids that have not responded to other treatments

Treatment Plan: To prevent regrowth, surgical excision is often combined with steroid injections or radiation therapy.

4. Cryotherapy (Freezing Treatment)

Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and shrink the keloid. This method is ideal for:

  • Smaller keloids
  • Minimizing discomfort and scarring

Treatment Plan: Several sessions may be required for best results.

5. Silicone Gel Therapy

Silicone gel sheets are a non-invasive treatment option that helps prevent excessive collagen buildup and soften existing keloids. This method:

  • Reduces scar thickness
  • Improves skin texture
  • Works best when used consistently

Treatment Plan: Requires daily application over several weeks for visible improvement.

6. Radiation Therapy

For severe or recurrent keloids, radiation therapy may be recommended after surgical removal. This technique:

  • Prevents excessive scar tissue formation
  • Reduces keloid regrowth

Treatment Plan: Often combined with surgical excision for long-term results.
