Treatment for keloid scars can be quite difficult, but I've seen patients desperate to get rid of them. Keloids are a little different from normal scars; they develop as a wound begins to heal, but can grow beyond the actual wound and encroach upon other skin tissues. It's hard to predict the progression of keloids, when or whether they would form at all, since this depends mainly on your individual skin type.
Keloids can form from pretty much any factor: surgery, pimples, burns, scratches, wounds, piercings, vaccinations... Any injury that involves healing of the skin can trigger a keloid scar. The overgrown collagen can appear as pink, or reddish brown, and is rubbery/shiny in texture. Though they are not contagious, sometimes keloids can be itchy and painful, which is an indication for treatment. Plus, they are simply not pleasant on the eye either.
The best treatment for potential keloids would be, of course, to prevent them altogether. If you have had a keloid scar before, you should avoid any type of injury, including piercings and skin surgery. Other treatment options at Renewme Skin Clinic include the following:
1. Steroid injections reduce infection and prevent the fibrosis of scar tissues. Steroids can also alleviate pain and itchiness.
2. Excel-V is a laser that can treat vascular conditions, therefore treating and preventing the redness of keloid scars.
3. CO2 laser uses wavelengths of 10,600 nm and works well on tissues that retain a lot of water. This laser minimizes damage to surrounding tissues, and destroys targeted areas at desired depths. When done carefully, CO2 is a safe way to reduce the volume of keloid scars.
4. Mosaic Laser creates microscopic holes in the skin to trigger the skin's natural wound healing and collagen regenerating process. It treats scars as well as improve general skin.
