Keloids & Scar Treatment
Advanced dermatological treatments to reduce the appearance of scars, improve skin texture, and restore confidence with expert-led care..
Understanding Keloids & Scars: Causes, Types & Treatment
Scars are a natural part of the skin’s healing process after an injury, surgery, acne, burns, or infection. While many scars gradually fade over time, some become raised, thick, or continue to grow beyond the original wound. These are known as keloids. Both scars and keloids can affect your appearance, confidence, and, in some cases, cause itching, pain, or discomfort.
At Linaé, our experienced dermatologists provide accurate diagnosis and personalized scar treatment and keloid treatment plans based on the type, size, location, and severity of the scar. Our goal is to improve skin texture, reduce scar visibility and help you achieve smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Recognizing the Early Signs of Keloids & Scars
Scars can vary in size, colour, and texture depending on how the skin heals. Identifying abnormal scar formation early allows treatment to begin before the scar becomes more noticeable.
What are Keloids & Scars?
A keloid is an overgrowth of scar tissue that develops when the body produces excessive collagen during healing. Unlike normal scars, keloids grow beyond the boundaries of the original wound and may continue to enlarge over time.
Although keloids are not harmful, many people seek treatment because of cosmetic concerns or symptoms such as itching, tenderness, or discomfort.
A scar forms when the skin repairs itself after damage caused by acne, injury, burns, surgery, or infections. Most scars gradually become flatter and less noticeable over time.
Common Signs and Symptoms of Keloids & Scars
Keloids are usually firm, raised, and shiny. They may continue growing beyond the original wound and can become itchy, tender, or painful. Large keloids may also restrict movement when they develop near joints.
If you notice a scar becoming thicker, larger, or more uncomfortable over time, consult a dermatologist for an early evaluation.
The appearance of scars varies depending on the cause and healing process. Common symptoms include raised or thickened skin, uneven texture, discoloration, and visible marks that remain after an injury or acne. Some scars may gradually fade, while others remain permanent without treatment.
Keloids can develop on different parts of the body depending on the cause of the skin injury.
Ear Keloids
Ear keloids are one of the most common types of keloids and usually develop after ear piercings or injuries. They appear as firm, raised growths that gradually enlarge beyond the piercing site and may cause itching, tenderness, or cosmetic concerns.
Chest Keloids
Chest keloids commonly form after acne, surgery, burns, or minor skin injuries. They often appear as thick, raised scars that continue growing beyond the original wound and may become itchy, painful, or uncomfortable over time.
Shoulder & Back Keloids
Shoulder and back keloids frequently develop following acne, vaccinations, cuts, or other skin injuries. Due to constant movement and friction in these areas, the scars may become large, raised, and more noticeable if left untreated..
What Causes Keloids & Scars?
Several factors influence how the skin heals after an injury.
Skin Injury
Cuts, burns, surgery, acne, piercings, and infections can all lead to scar formation.
Excess Collagen Production
Keloids develop when the body produces too much collagen during the healing process.
Genetics
Some people have a higher genetic tendency to develop keloids or raised scars.
Skin Type
Individuals with darker skin tones are generally more prone to developing keloids.
Delayed Healing
Poor wound healing or repeated irritation may increase the risk of prominent scars.
Why Early Treatment Matters
Treating Keloids & scars early often produces better cosmetic outcomes and helps prevent further scar thickening.
Early treatment can reduce the size, colour, and visibility of scars.
Treatment helps improve smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Timely intervention may help prevent keloids from enlarging.
Reducing visible scars can improve self-confidence and overall quality of life.

No. Keloids usually do not disappear without treatment and may continue to grow over time.
A keloid grows beyond the original wound, while a hypertrophic scar remains within the boundaries of the injury.
Some keloids may cause itching, tenderness, pain, or discomfort, especially if they become large.
The number of sessions depends on the type, size, age, and severity of the scar. Your dermatologist will recommend a personalized treatment plan after evaluation.
