Addressing Keloid Scars at HVME

Keloid scars represent a specific type of scarring that often presents itself as a stubborn, raised mark that extends beyond the boundaries of the original injury. These scars most frequently appear after a surgical procedure, as a result of piercings, or even after minor cuts and can become a source of both physical discomfort and internal self-consciousness.

Thankfully enough, HVME is here to help. We’ll help you explore a variety of treatment options that can significantly reduce the visibility of your keloid scars, giving you the ability to once more show the world a smooth, clear appearance.

What Causes Keloid Scars?

Keloid scars develop when your body’s natural healing response goes into overdrive and causes an overproduction of collagen in your skin as the scar tissue forms. In most cases, your body uses collagen to rebuild damaged tissue.

When keloid scars form, however, this normal growth continues beyond what’s necessary, creating a raised, thickened scar that can even exceed the original wound area. In many cases, genetics actually play a significant role, with some individuals simply being more prone to keloid scar formation than others. Although keloids can appear anywhere on the body, they are commonly found on the chest, shoulders, and earlobes.

How HVME Can Help

Your first visit to one of our welcoming HVME locations involves an informative consultation with one of our expert providers. They’ll get to know you, learn about your goals, and take stock of the keloid scars you’re interested in resolving. With this information in mind, they’ll be able to help you explore a series of treatment options that can potentially connect you with your ideal results before collaborating with you on the creation of your customized treatment plan.

AgeJET Plasma Rejuvenation

AgeJET Plasma Rejuvenation delivers controlled plasma energy to keloid-prone areas, promoting collagen restructuring. By using targeted thermal energy, this treatment can also help normalize excessive tissue growth so you can enjoy smoother, flatter scar tissue as new collagen balances the healing process.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing employs fractionated beams to break down excess scar tissue and stimulate healthier collagen synthesis. This process encourages your body to replace rigid keloid fibers with a more pliable tissue matrix. Over multiple sessions, your scars will be gradually flattened and softened, resulting in a more uniform skin texture and tone.

Microneedling with PRP or PRF

Microneedling creates tiny micro-channels that trigger your skin’s natural healing response. When combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) or Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) therapy, the growth factors further enhance tissue remodeling. This powerful pairing can help break down keloid scar tissue, leading to a smoother surface and improved overall skin quality over time.

Injectables for Keloid Scars

Specialized corticosteroids or other injectable solutions can be administered directly into your keloid scars, where they’ll effectively reduce inflammation and slow the production of further excess collagen. This approach helps soften and flatten the scar, alleviating your discomfort and enhancing your skin’s appearance.
