Understanding Keloid Scars
What Are Keloid Scars?
Keloid scars are raised, and firm areas of fibrous tissue are formed from excess collagen production during wound healing. These scars often extend beyond the original injury and may cause itching, discomfort, or limited movement.
What Causes Keloid Scars?
Keloid scars can develop for various reasons, including:
- Genetics: More common in individuals with darker skin tones
- Skin Trauma: Such as cuts, burns, or piercings
- Chronic Irritation: Repeated friction or injury at the wound site
What Are the Goals of Keloid Scar Treatment?
Our treatments aim to:
- Flatten and smooth the scar for improved skin texture
- Relieve discomfort or irritation caused by the scar
- Minimize the risk of further growth or recurrence
