Mr Ioannis Goutos is a scar specialist who has been helping patients for over two decades with keloid scar treatment in Marylebone.

Keloid scars can be a source of discomfort and self-consciousness for many people. These raised, thick scars form when the skin’s healing process goes into overdrive, producing excess collagen that extends beyond the original wound. 

If you’re seeking keloid scar treatment in Marylebone, there are a variety of effective treatments available that can help reduce the appearance of these stubborn scars and restore your skin’s appearance.

Mr Goutos and his team believe that patients should be able to get first-class personalised treatment without having to concede on safety. At his clinic, he provides effective treatment options to meet your desired goals.

Keloid Scar Treatment Marylebone

Understanding Keloid and Hypertrophic Scars

Keloid scars are a type of raised scar that continues to grow beyond the boundaries of the original wound. Unlike hypertrophic scars, which remain within the wound borders, keloids can become quite large and may be painful, itchy, or cause discomfort. Common areas where keloids form include the chest, shoulders, upper chest, earlobes, and other places where the skin is under tension.

 

Causes and Risk Factors

Keloids can develop after various types of skin injuries, including:

  • Surgical scars from procedures such as piercings or surgeries.
  • Acne scars from severe acne breakouts.
  • Injury wounds such as cuts, burns, or even vaccinations.

Keloid formation is more common in darker skin types, particularly among those with a genetic predisposition. The excess collagen produced by the body leads to the development of a raised scar that can be significantly darker than the surrounding skin.

 

Treatment Options for Keloid Scars in Marylebone

If you are looking for keloid scar removal in Marylebone, there are several treatment options available. A consultation with a plastic surgeon will help determine the best course of action based on your specific needs and skin type.

  1. Steroid Injections
  • Steroid injections are often the first line of treatment for keloid scars. These injections help flatten the scar tissue by reducing inflammation and slowing down the production of collagen. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal results.
  1. Laser Treatment
  • Laser treatment is another effective option for treating keloid scars. It works by targeting the blood vessels within the scar tissue, reducing its size and discolouration over time. Lasers can also improve the texture of the skin, making the scar less noticeable.
  1. Scar Revision
  • In some cases, surgical excision keloid scar removal may be recommended. This procedure is typically done under local anaesthetic and involves cutting out the keloid. However, because surgery itself can trigger keloid formation, it is often combined with other treatments like steroid injections or radiotherapy to reduce the risk of the keloid returning.

For stubborn or large keloid scars, a combination of treatments may be used to achieve the best results. This might include surgery followed by a steroid injection(s) or laser treatment to ensure the scar flattens and fades as much as possible.

 

Consultation and Personalised Treatment Plans Marylebone

If you’re considering keloid scar treatment in Marylebone, it’s essential to schedule a consultation with our clinic.

What to Expect During the Healing Process

The healing process for keloid scar treatment varies depending on the treatment method used. Following surgical removal or steroid injections, you may experience some discomfort, redness, or swelling. Our team will provide you with aftercare instructions to help manage these symptoms and promote optimal healing.

Laser treatments generally require little to no downtime, and you can usually return to your normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, it may take several sessions to see a significant improvement in the appearance of the scar.

 

Improving Self-Confidence Through Treatment

Keloid scars can affect not only your appearance but also your self-confidence. Many patients seek treatment not just for physical symptoms, such as discomfort or itching, but also to improve their overall quality of life. With the right treatment plan, it is possible to significantly reduce the appearance of keloid scars, helping you feel more comfortable and confident in your skin.

Whether you’re dealing with surgical scars, acne scars, or scars from injury, there are different treatments available that can help you achieve the optimal results you desire. With the right approach, you can reduce the appearance of keloid scars and improve the overall texture and appearance of your skin.
