How are keloids treated, and what works?
Keloids are raised scars that grow beyond the original wound; hypertrophic scars stay within it. First-line treatment is a series of steroid injections, often combined with laser (to reduce redness and thickness) and pressure or silicone care.
At YAAN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, treatment is planned by size and location and quoted at consultation.
