Keloids form when scar tissue continues growing beyond the boundary of the original injury. They may follow acne, insect bites, injections, piercings, burns, vaccination or other skin trauma and can become firm, itchy or painful.
At Safa Skin and Hair Clinic, each keloid is assessed according to its location, thickness, activity and previous treatment response.
Treatment may involve injections, silicone therapy, cryotherapy, laser procedures or a carefully selected combination. The approach is planned around recurrence risk and the patient’s healing tendency.
Care aims to flatten and soften raised tissue, ease symptoms and improve the scar’s overall appearance.
We assess the keloid’s size, thickness, symptoms, growth pattern and the original event that led to its formation.
A personalised strategy is developed around scar activity, location, previous treatment and individual recurrence risk.
Selected therapies gradually soften raised tissue, reduce thickness and address associated itching, tenderness or tightness.
Follow-up sessions and preventive scar guidance help preserve improvement and identify renewed growth at an early stage.
