Keloids can be more than just a cosmetic concern; they can be a source of discomfort and self-consciousness for many. At Desired Beauty, located in the upscale Beverly Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Farzin Kerendian and his team provide expert keloid removal treatments designed to not just enhance your appearance but also improve your quality of life.
What Are Keloids?
Keloids are raised, thickened areas of scar tissue that develop at the site of a wound, including surgical incisions, piercings, or acne scars. Unlike regular scars, keloids grow much larger than the original injury and may continue growing for weeks or even months. They often appear red or darker than the surrounding skin and can be itchy, tender, or even painful to the touch. The reasons why some people develop keloids are not entirely understood but may involve genetic factors.
How Are Keloids Treated at Desired Beauty?
At Desired Beauty, various methods are available for treating keloids, tailored to the specific condition and needs of each patient. Among the most common treatments are:
- Surgical excision: Removing the keloid surgically, often under local anesthesia for patient comfort.
- Laser therapy: Using specialized lasers to reduce the size and improve the color of the keloid.
- Steroid injections: Injecting corticosteroids directly into the keloid to reduce inflammation and halt the growth.
Dr. Kerendian is highly skilled in determining the most appropriate treatment for you and may often combine different therapies for the best outcome. Surgical removal can usually be done under local anesthesia, offering you the comfort and convenience of a quick recovery time.
