Keloid Scars
Some scars do not heal flat and become lumpy and larger than the original wound. These are known as keloid scars or hypertrophic scars.
When the skin is broken the body produces collagen to aid the healing process. In some people, too much collagen is produced, which causes the scar to become large and raised.
Keloid scars can appear anywhere on the body. They can be reddish in colour, itchy and occasionally painful.

Causes of keloid scars
Keloid scars can develop after very minor skin damage, such as an acne spot or a piercing, and spread beyond the original area of skin damage.
Our Consultations
Our consultations are in-depth and tailored to you, creating a bespoke treatment plan catering to all of your concerns.
ConsultationTreatments
At Health & Aesthetics, we regularly treat keloid scars using steroid injections.
Corticosteroid injections can be used to treat keloid and hypertrophic scars, which will result in the scar flattening and looking better.
The scar cannot be completely removed but will be dramatically improved.
You will need at least three treatments at six-weekly intervals.
