hi there! i recommended you to go to DR. RAFFY KARAMANOUKIAN clinic's for the keloids treatment. YES, I am so SERIOUS that he will help you....

before i went to Dr. Raffy, I've went to 4 clinics already and nothing change with the keloids. then, i've decided to go to Dr. Raffy... and i found my HOPE.

I went to this clinic for keloids removal procedures.. I met a very good, nice, great, awesome doc which were Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian, the assistant Kelly and Maralyn. thank you so much for treated me very well and nicely.

I have like a 9-10 keloids on my back and when the first time of appointment, he suggested to proceed with the minor surgery, laser and injections. And i need to give him 3 months roughly treatment for the keloids. he explained clearly the procedures and cost on the first appointment and you r free to asked any questions..

Then i proceed with surgery and i need to come back 3 times a week for the treatments. the surgery was on May 2014..and I need to go for 3 months treatment...

Well, the doc was great..what can i say, after the treatment the keloids are totally removed and my skin was flatter.. thank you...!!=)=)=) then, i just need to maintain it by taking injections and laser.=)

After that, I need continue with 3 times a week appointment for injections and laser. Basically, the injections r to ensure keloids flatter while the laser r to ensure the color of skin become better. In meantime of progress, he suggested the dark cream and keloids scar cream.. after 3 months of repeating the same thing until i need to go back to my country, Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian was a very nice, he gave me the injections set for me to take 1x a week at the clinic in my country.... thank you so much. I'm so touched that he still concern and responsible on my treatment. he was so nice and awesome, he's funny and treat patient nicely. thank you!!!

Now, you guys know that the keloids r flatter, removed and its actually giving me the new HOPE, CONFIDENT, LIFE, UNLIMITED HAPPINESS... I don't have to hide again and feel so embarrassing...

thank you so much for everything. awesome DR. RAFFY.... from: anabanana

Thank you for the very kind review. Keloids can be quite difficult to treat and they require both patience and expertise. Most patients do very well with non-surgical treatments, but some may require debulking, enucleation, or surgical excision.

Hi, doctor. What kind of treatment would you give my scar. It is hypertrophic scar that is flat, and only pink now. Would like to make it less obvious looking. Any idea the ball park cost?

hi , i suffer from small to medium sized keloids on shoulders and back as well I'm so happy for you being set free from this, I have gone to this doctor as well and agree he is awesome however I went with steroid injections to flatten slowly only and did not discuss removal but I am not ready to rid myself of this completely with risk, I wanted to know if you are having any regrowth of removed keloids? Thanks
