Keloid Cryotherapy
Hi Sabrina, the cost will depend on treatment method used. This will in turn depend on location of keloid, its size, and the experience of the treating physician. Common approaches are: injections in the substance of the keloid, freezing (CRYO therapy) with liquid nitrogen, surgical excision, lasers (Dye or CO2). Often, combination procedures are done.
