Our dermatologists combine medical expertise, advanced technologies, and a patient-centered approach to reduce scar tissue, improve skin appearance, and restore confidence.

Understanding Keloids and Hypertrophic Scars

Keloids are thick, raised scars that extend beyond the original wound. They may develop after surgery, trauma, burns, or acne and can cause itching, pain, or cosmetic concerns.

Hypertrophic scars are also raised but remain within the wound boundary. Both occur due to an overproduction of collagen during the skin healing process. Genetics, skin type, wound tension, and delayed healing increase the risk of developing these scars.

Causes and Risk Factors

• Genetic predisposition – family history of keloids increases risk.
• Dark skin tones are more prone to keloid formation.
• High-tension wounds or areas like the shoulders, chest, and earlobes.
• Delayed wound healing or infections post-surgery or injury.
• Acne, burns, or piercings that lead to skin trauma.

• Laser Therapy: Fractional CO2 and pulsed dye lasers improve scar texture, color, and thickness with minimal downtime.
