Keloid Treatment
Expert Care for Raised & Overgrown Scars
Keloids are challenging raised scars that grow beyond wound boundaries and can be difficult to treat. They require specialized, multimodal treatment approaches for effective management. At The Skin Sensé, we provide comprehensive keloid treatment using steroid injections, laser therapy, and surgical techniques to flatten keloids and prevent recurrence.
What Are Keloids?
Keloids are raised, thickened scars that grow beyond the boundaries of the original wound. Unlike normal scars, keloids continue to grow and can become much larger than the initial injury. They form when the body produces excess collagen during wound healing.
Common Keloid Locations
- Earlobes – From piercings (most common)
- Chest & Shoulders – From acne or injuries
- Upper Back – From acne scars
- Jawline & Chin – From acne or shaving
- Surgical Sites – After operations
Treatment Options
- Steroid Injections – Most common treatment to flatten keloids

Frequently Asked Questions
Keloids form when the body produces excess collagen during wound healing. They can develop after injuries, surgeries, piercings, acne, or minor scratches.

Most patients require 4-6 steroid injection sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Steroid injections may cause temporary discomfort. The site may feel tender for a day or two.
