Keloid Scar Treatment

Introduction

Expert Care for Keloid Scars

Keloid scars are thick, raised overgrowths of scar tissue that extend beyond the original wound site. They develop due to excessive collagen production during the healing process and can appear after surgery, burns, piercings, or minor skin injuries. Keloids may cause discomfort, itching, or tenderness and can continue to grow over time if untreated.

Edgbaston Wellness Clinic offers specialised keloid scar treatments to reduce size, flatten raised tissue, and prevent recurrence. Using a combination of advanced therapies, our personalised approach helps restore smoother and healthier skin.

Understanding Keloid Scars

Keloids differ from normal scars as they continue growing beyond the original wound site. They often appear on the chest, shoulders, earlobes, and back and can be darker or redder than surrounding skin. Due to their tendency to grow, early treatment is recommended to prevent further thickening.

What is Keloid Scar Treatment?

Keloid scar treatment focuses on reducing scar thickness, relieving discomfort, and preventing regrowth. A combination of therapies, such as steroid injections, laser therapy, and surgical removal, may be used for effective results.
