What is Keloid Scar Treatment - Injection?
Keloid scar treatment involves injecting corticosteroids directly into the keloid to reduce its size and appearance. Keloids are raised, thickened scars that can form after an injury, surgery, or piercing. Corticosteroid injections help flatten the keloid, reduce redness, and relieve symptoms such as itching or discomfort. Over time, the scar becomes less noticeable.
This treatment is ideal for individuals with keloid scars that are large, raised, or causing discomfort.
Things You Should Know Before Your Keloid Scar Injection
Before undergoing keloid scar treatment, consider the following:
- Consultation: A thorough consultation is essential to assess the severity of the keloid and to create a personalized treatment plan.
- History of Keloids: Inform your provider of any history of keloids, as some individuals may be prone to forming them.
- Medications: Disclose any medications you’re currently taking, especially blood thinners or anti-inflammatory drugs, as these may affect the treatment.
What Happens During Keloid Scar Injection?
During the treatment, you can expect the following:
- Injection: The corticosteroid solution is injected directly into the keloid scar to reduce its size and symptoms.
- Sensations: You may feel a slight pinch or discomfort during the injection, but this is typically brief.
- Duration: The procedure typically takes 10 to 20 minutes.
Recovery and Results: What to Expect
After your keloid scar treatment, here’s what to expect:
- Gradual Flattening: The keloid will begin to flatten and reduce in size over the following weeks.
- Reduction in Discomfort: Symptoms like itching and discomfort will gradually improve after the injection.
- Multiple Treatments: Depending on the size and severity of the keloid, several sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal results.
Regular follow-up treatments may be needed for long-lasting results.
