Keloid / Hypertrophic Scar

Effective Treatment for Keloid & Hypertrophic Scars

Keloid and Hypertrophic Scar Treatment is designed to reduce raised, thickened, and uncomfortable scars caused by surgery, injury, burns, acne, or skin trauma. While hypertrophic scars remain within the boundaries of the original wound, keloids can continue to grow beyond it. Treatment may involve surgical excision, steroid injections, silicone therapy, laser treatment, or a combination of advanced techniques to improve appearance, reduce symptoms, and minimize recurrence.
