Keloid Surgical Removal
Surgical excision removes keloid tissue using precise techniques to minimize tension and recurrence. Ideal for large or complex scars, this procedure is often combined with post-operative therapies like SRT for optimal results. Patients benefit from reduced scar volume and improved skin contour, with a focus on aesthetic outcomes and functional restoration.
Superficial Radiation Therapy
SRT delivers targeted radiation to destroy keloid-forming cells after surgery, achieving over 90% success rates. This non-invasive option is safe for all skin types, requires no downtime, and effectively prevents regrowth while preserving surrounding tissue integrity.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy freezes keloid tissue to reduce size and inflammation, particularly effective for smaller or newer scars. Multiple sessions may be needed, with minimal side effects and quick recovery, making it a viable alternative for non-surgical candidates.
Non-Invasive Solutions
Includes silicone gel pads, compression therapy, and steroid injections to flatten scars and alleviate symptoms. These treatments regulate collagen production and hydration, offering accessible options for patients seeking to avoid surgical interventions.
Post-Heart Surgery Care
Specialized care for keloids resulting from chest surgeries, combining surgical and non-surgical methods to address unique anatomical challenges. Focuses on restoring skin appearance and function while minimizing recurrence through tailored protocols.
