Keloid scars are raised, thickened areas of skin that form when the body produces excess collagen after a wound or injury. They can develop after acne, surgery, piercings, or even minor cuts and insect bites. Unlike regular scars, keloids can grow beyond the original injury site and may cause discomfort or affect appearance.

At Amaran, we offer targeted treatments to reduce the size, thickness, and discolouration of keloid scars. Our approach combines medical-grade solutions, including intralesional injections and advanced laser treatments, to help flatten and soften keloids over time. With consistent care, our treatments can significantly improve the texture and appearance of the affected area, restoring confidence and comfort.

Are keloid scars dangerous?

No, keloids are not dangerous or cancerous. However, they can cause discomfort, tightness, or itching, and some people find them cosmetically distressing.

How are keloids treated at Amaran?

We commonly use corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation and flatten the scar. In some cases, we may also recommend laser treatments, silicone therapy, or combination protocols depending on the severity and location of the keloid.

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients require multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart. The exact number varies based on the size, age, and location of the keloid.

Will the keloid come back after treatment?

There is always a risk of recurrence, especially in individuals prone to keloids. However, our treatment plans are designed to minimize this risk and improve long-term outcomes.

Is the treatment painful?

Some mild discomfort may occur during injections or laser therapy, but most patients tolerate the treatments well. A topical numbing agent can be applied to ensure comfort.

Can I prevent new keloids from forming?

If you are prone to keloids, avoid unnecessary skin trauma, piercings, or surgeries. Early treatment of wounds and the use of silicone gels or pressure dressings can also help reduce the chance of keloid formation.
