are both types of skin alterations that can result from injuries, surgeries, or a variety of skin conditions. Keloids are raised, thickened areas of scar tissue that can continue to grow beyond the original injury site, while scars are flat areas of tissue that form as a result of wound healing. Keloids and scars can be a cosmetic concern for some patients and may cause discomfort or itching. We can treat keloids and scars using various methods, including corticosteroid injections, laser therapy, cryotherapy, and surgical excision. Corticosteroid injections can help reduce the size and thickness of keloids and scars, while laser therapy can improve the appearance of scars and reduce redness. Cryotherapy involves freezing the keloid or scar tissue to kill the cells, and surgical excision involves cutting out the keloid or scar tissue. Treatment of keloids and scars is typically safe and effective and can improve the appearance and texture of your skin.
