Keloid Scars/Hypertrophic Scars: Advanced Care for Scar Management

Keloid and hypertrophic scars are types of raised scars that form as part of the body’s healing process after an injury. While these scars are not harmful, they can be uncomfortable, itchy, or cosmetically concerning. At Gold Skin Care Center, we specialize in advanced treatments to reduce the appearance of keloid and hypertrophic scars, helping you achieve smoother, healthier skin.

What Are Keloid and Hypertrophic Scars?

  • Keloid Scars: Keloids are thick, raised scars that grow beyond the boundaries of the original wound. They often appear on the chest, shoulders, earlobes, and cheeks and can become large and protruding over time.
  • Hypertrophic Scars: Unlike keloids, hypertrophic scars remain confined to the area of the injury. These scars are raised and red but may flatten and fade over time without extending beyond the original wound.
Both types of scars can result from cuts, burns, piercings, surgeries, or other skin injuries. Factors such as genetics, skin type, and the location of the injury can influence the development of these scars.

Advanced Treatments for Keloid and Hypertrophic Scars

At Gold Skin Care Center, we offer a range of state-of-the-art treatments to minimize the appearance of raised scars and improve skin texture:

Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT)

SRT is an advanced, non-surgical treatment option that uses low-energy radiation to target scar tissue and prevent recurrence after removal. This therapy is highly effective for treating keloids and hypertrophic scars, especially in patients with recurrent or resistant cases. SRT is safe, painless, and provides excellent cosmetic outcomes.

Intralesional Steroids

Intralesional corticosteroid injections reduce inflammation, flatten raised scars, and decrease itchiness. This treatment is suitable for both keloid and hypertrophic scars and typically requires a series of sessions for optimal results. The frequency and dosage are customized for each patient to ensure the best outcome.

AdvaTx and V-Beam Laser Therapy

These advanced lasers target redness and scar tissue to improve the appearance of keloid and hypertrophic scars. AdvaTx combines yellow and infrared wavelengths to reduce vascularity and smooth scar texture, while V-beam focuses on minimizing redness and pigmentation. Both are effective for reducing scar visibility with minimal downtime.

UltraPulse CO2 and UltraClear Lasers

Fractional laser treatments like UltraPulse CO2 and UltraClear precisely target scar tissue, resurfacing the skin and stimulating collagen production. These treatments improve texture, reduce thickness, and enhance the overall appearance of scars. They are ideal for stubborn or extensive scars and provide noticeable results over multiple sessions.

Microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF)

This cutting-edge procedure combines microneedling with targeted radiofrequency energy to remodel scar tissue and stimulate collagen production. RF microneedling is effective for softening thick scars, reducing redness, and improving skin texture. The treatment is minimally invasive and highly effective for various scar types.

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy involves freezing the scar tissue with liquid nitrogen to shrink and soften keloid scars. This treatment is particularly effective for smaller scars and can be combined with other therapies for enhanced results. Cryotherapy is a quick, minimally invasive procedure performed in our office.
