Keloid Injection are treatments designed to reduce the appearance of keloid scars, which are often raised, firm, and may cause discomfort. This treatment involves injecting corticosteroids or other medications directly into the scar tissue, helping to reduce inflammation and promote a smoother skin surface. By addressing both the physical appearance and discomfort, keloid injections are a reliable solution for managing challenging scars.
Keloid Injection treatment may be suitable for those who:
Our specialist evaluates the keloid’s size, location, and texture to determine the best treatment plan.
Corticosteroids or other suitable medications are injected into the keloid scar, targeting the core of the scar tissue.
The injected medication works to reduce inflammation within the keloid, helping to ease any discomfort or itching associated with the scar.
The treatment gradually reduces the size and prominence of the keloid, flattening it to be more level with the surrounding skin.
Depending on the keloid’s response, multiple sessions may be recommended to maintain results and prevent regrowth.
While the injections may cause mild discomfort, our specialists use techniques to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Any discomfort typically subsides shortly after treatment.
The number of sessions depends on the keloid’s size and response to treatment. Some individuals may see results after a single treatment, while others may benefit from a series of sessions.
Keloid injections are effective at minimising keloids, though some may recur over time. Regular follow-up treatments can help maintain results.
There is usually no downtime after keloid injections, and patients can resume normal activities immediately.
Minor redness or tenderness at the injection site may occur but typically resolves quickly. Our specialists will discuss any potential side effects during your consultation.
