Keloid Injection Treatments

Keloid Injection Treatment is a specialized, non-surgical procedure designed to reduce problematic keloid scars—raised, thickened scars that grow beyond the original wound boundary. These scars can cause discomfort, pain, and itching, and often affect confidence and daily life. This treatment involves injecting corticosteroid medication directly into the keloid to reduce inflammation, soften the scar, and inhibit excessive collagen growth, leading to a flatter and less noticeable scar.

Effectively reduces scar size and thickness

The corticosteroid injections target collagen overproduction, softening and shrinking the keloid tissue for a smoother skin surface.

Relieves symptoms such as pain and itching

By reducing inflammation, patients often experience less discomfort and tenderness in treated areas.

Minimally invasive with quick sessions

Treatment is delivered via injections with local anesthesia available, causing minimal downtime and allowing patients to resume daily activities soon after.

Frequently asked question

The corticosteroid inhibits collagen synthesis and reduces inflammation, limiting the growth of the keloid scar.

Most patients require about 2 or more sessions, spaced 1–2 weeks apart, depending on scar severity.

Some discomfort is normal, but local anesthesia can be applied to reduce pain during the procedure.
Temporary redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site may occur and usually resolve within days.
While not guaranteed, corticosteroid injections significantly reduce the risk of keloid recurrence compared to no treatment or surgery alone.
Effectiveness varies; it is best to do a consultation session prior to treatment for a personalized evaluation and treatment planning.
