What Is a Keloid?
A keloid is a raised, overgrown scar that extends beyond the original injury. It forms due to excessive collagen production during the healing process and can be itchy, tender, or even painful. No two keloids are alike, and treatment is always personalized. “It’s about balanced reduction,” Dr. Durand notes. At our Miami facility, each approach is tailored to the individual, improving texture and blending scars into the surrounding skin with care and precision.
Common Reasons Patients Seek Keloid Treatment
- Raised, visible scars that cause discomfort
- Keloids that affect confidence or appearance
- Itchy or tender keloids needing relief
- Enlarged scars following surgery or trauma
- Cosmetic concerns prompting skin refinement
