Keloid Scar Results You Can See

Could Your Raised Scar Be a Keloid?

Keloids are raised scars that keep growing after your skin has healed, often extending beyond the original cut, acne scar, piercing, burn, or injury.

Unlike a normal scar, a keloid can become thick, firm, itchy, tender, or painful as your body keeps producing scar tissue in that area.

Your scar may be a keloid if:

  • Your scar is raised, thick, or firm to the touch
  • Your scar has grown beyond the original injury
  • The area feels itchy, tender, painful, or irritated
  • The scar looks shiny, smooth, or darker than the surrounding skin
  • The scar keeps growing instead of flattening over time
  • You’ve had a scar return after previous treatment

What Treatments Help Remove Keloids?

At Scar Healing Institute, we use a range of evidence-based scar revision treatments to flatten raised scar tissue, calm irritation, and help your skin look and feel smoother as it heals.

We may use any of the following treatments depending on your specific scar:

Steroid Injections

We administer corticosteroid injections every 4-6 weeks to reduce inflammation, slow excess collagen production, and flatten raised keloids while relieving itching, tenderness, and discomfort.

Laser Therapy

Using advanced laser scar treatments, we improve keloid texture, reduce redness and discoloration, and support smoother skin while enhancing the effectiveness of other scar treatments when appropriate.

Surgical Excision

For certain keloids, surgical excision removes the raised scar tissue while preserving as much healthy skin as possible. We use advanced closure techniques and follow-up therapy to support healing.

What Can Lead to Keloid Scarring?

Keloids can form when your skin keeps producing scar tissue after an injury has healed.

Your risk may be higher if your skin is prone to raised scars, but keloids can also develop after everyday skin trauma.

Keloid scarring can happen after:

  • Acne breakouts or cystic acne
  • Ear piercings or body piercings
  • Cuts, scrapes, or burns
  • Surgical incisions
  • Tattoos
  • Injections or vaccinations
  • Ingrown hairs or razor bumps
  • Skin irritation or repeated friction
  • A family history of keloids
  • Previous keloid scars

Focused on healing you and your scars.

Answers Before Your First Visit

Yes, it’s possible for keloids to return after treatment, as they’re caused by your skin’s natural healing process.

We often pair treatments like surgical excision with follow-up scar therapy to reduce the risk of recurrence.

Some keloids can be treated in one visit, but most raised scars need a phased plan to flatten the scar, calm irritation, and support smoother healing.

The cost of keloid scar removal depends on your scar size, location, treatment plan, and whether you need injections, laser therapy, cryotherapy, surgical excision, or follow-up care.

We’ll provide a clear quote during your initial consultation, so you know what to expect before we start.

Your comfort is our top priority. We use numbing techniques when needed to make your treatment as manageable as possible.

You may feel pressure, tenderness, or mild discomfort depending on your treatment, but we’ll guide you through what to expect before we begin.
