Facial keloids are difficult to treat as they are generally widened and raised. Simple non-invasive modalities to decrease thickness will work well but usually leave a widened flat scar. Surgical excision may ultimately lead to recurrence.

I treat countless patients with keloids and have adopted a stringent protocol of close follow up, non-invasive treatments, and surgery. Recurrence rates in my office are low as a result of close follow up.
