keloid scars do happen in some people more than others and it typically is a genetic potential that makes you prone to that. what we use to treat keloids are a combination of two things. often simply cortisone injections into the scars themselves over time it takes a few treatments usually done at four-six week intervals will help flatten those scars. there will still be a scar but it will be smoother and flatter. the other thing that we can use is a pulsed dye laser that targets the blood vessel in the scar and helps it flatten. so those two sometimes used together can help that area heal and become smoother softer and flatter more quickly. over time you may have to repeat the treatment because sometimes keloids reform over time. but typically after a few treatments you will see the area get better and then maybe once a year or so you will have to retreat.
