Keloid Incidence from Ablative Facial Laser?

November 20, 2023
Asked By:iamsmelmon in Scotland, United Kingdom

Hi, I am a 31 year old Southeast Asian Female. I have a history of keloid formation (my mother has them) and I have a small one on my chest. I recently received ablative facial laser (Lucas machine) on 1x1cm spot on my right cheek. From my perspective, the procedure was well-executed with no complications. I am very worried that it will develop into a keloid. What are the chances of keloid formation, and what can I do to minimise this?
