Keloids & Scars

Scar & Keloid Treatment

Scarring is a natural part of the skin’s healing process — but not all scars heal the same way. At Clare Dermatology, we assess and treat a range of scar types, from hypertrophic and atrophic scars to keloids, which can grow well beyond the original wound. Our physician-led approach is tailored to your skin type, scar history, and treatment goals.

What We Can Do For You

WHAT TO EXPECT

The Treatment Experience

  1. Assessment — Your dermatologist evaluates the scar’s type, age, and location to ensure we choose the safest, most effective path forward for your skin.

  2. Treatment — The procedure is performed quickly and precisely. For keloids, specialized injections are placed directly into the scar tissue to minimize discomfort and maximize flattening.

  3. Aftercare & Home Optimization — We guide you on proper recovery, crucial sun protection to prevent darkening, and recommend clinically proven medical-grade silicone sheets or gels you can purchase online to support your results at home.

Recovery — Minimal to no downtime for current injection treatments; you can return to your day immediately.

Duration — 15–30 minutes per session.

Results — Gradual softening and flattening over a few weeks; a personalized series of sessions is usually needed.
