What Are Keloid Scars and Why Do They Form?

Keloid scars are raised, thickened scars that develop due to an overproduction of collagen during the healing process. They often appear after skin injuries such as acne, piercings, surgical incisions, burns, or even minor cuts. Unlike normal scars, keloids continue to grow beyond the original wound site, sometimes causing itching, pain, or discomfort.

What Are the Best Treatments for Keloid Scars in Montreal, Laval, Ottawa and the West Island?

We offer advanced keloid treatment options, including:
✔ Cortisone (Kenalog) Injections – Reduces inflammation and shrinks the keloid over time.
✔ CO₂ Laser Resurfacing – Smooths the scar, reduces thickness, and improves skin texture.
✔ Fractional Laser Therapy – Targets excess collagen and minimizes keloid visibility.
✔ Cryotherapy – Freezes and reduces the keloid’s size.
✔ Surgical Excision (With Preventive Measures) – Removes large keloids, often combined with injections or laser therapy to prevent recurrence.

How Does Laser Therapy Help with Keloid Scars?

Laser treatments such as CO₂ laser resurfacing and fractional laser therapy help flatten keloid scars, reduce redness, and improve skin texture. These treatments break down excess scar tissue and stimulate healthy skin regeneration, making the keloid less noticeable over time. CO₂ laser therapy is particularly effective for thick, stubborn keloids, while fractional laser helps improve discoloration and overall skin appearance.

Can Keloids Come Back After Treatment?

Keloids have a high recurrence rate, especially after surgical removal. To minimize the risk, we combine treatments such as laser therapy with cortisone injections and provide customized aftercare plans to prevent regrowth.
