The treatment most commonly involves injecting a corticosteroid medication directly into the keloid to help soften the scar, reduce inflammation, and slow the excessive production of collagen that causes the scar to enlarge.<\/p>\n<p>Keloids are raised scars that grow beyond the boundaries of the original wound. They may develop after surgery, acne, burns, ear piercing, injuries, vaccinations, or other forms of skin trauma. In addition to their appearance, keloids may cause itching, tenderness, pain, or discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>At <strong>RS Abdi Waluyo<\/strong>, Keloid Injections are performed by experienced dermatologists following a thorough assessment of the scar and an individualized treatment plan designed to improve both symptoms and cosmetic appearance.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>Why Are Keloid Injections Performed?<\/h1>\n<p>Your dermatologist may recommend Keloid Injections if you have:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Raised, thickened keloid scars<\/li>\n<li>Itching or irritation caused by a keloid<\/li>\n<li>Pain or tenderness in the scar<\/li>\n<li>Red or dark-colored keloid scars<\/li>\n<li>Progressive enlargement of a keloid<\/li>\n<li>Keloids following surgery, acne, burns, vaccinations, or ear piercing<\/li>\n<li>Recurrent keloids after previous treatment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The primary goals of treatment are to flatten the scar, relieve symptoms, improve flexibility, and reduce the likelihood of further growth.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>Details of the Treatment<\/h1>\n<p>Keloid Injection is an outpatient procedure that usually takes only a few minutes and does not generally require hospitalization.<\/p>\n<p>The treatment involves:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Examination and assessment of the keloid<\/li>\n<li>Cleansing of the treatment area<\/li>\n<li>Injection of medication directly into the scar tissue using a fine needle<\/li>\n<li>Application of gentle pressure after the injection, if needed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Depending on the size and thickness of the keloid, multiple injection points may be required during the same session.<\/p>\n<p>Most patients require a series of treatments rather than a single injection to achieve the desired results.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>What Happens During the Treatment?<\/h1>\n<p>Your visit begins with an evaluation by a dermatologist.<\/p>\n<p>During the procedure:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The keloid is examined and photographed, if needed, for treatment monitoring.<\/li>\n<li>The skin is cleansed with an antiseptic solution.<\/li>\n<li>A fine needle is used to inject medication into different areas of the keloid.<\/li>\n<li>The dermatologist carefully distributes the medication throughout the scar tissue.<\/li>\n<li>The treated area is gently compressed, if needed.<\/li>\n<li>After the procedure, you may return home immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The procedure typically takes <strong>10\u201320 minutes<\/strong>, depending on the number and size of the scars being treated.<\/p>\n<p>You may experience brief stinging, pressure, or mild discomfort during the injections.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>What Should I Expect After the Treatment?<\/h1>\n<p>After the injection, it is normal to experience:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mild soreness or tenderness<\/li>\n<li>Temporary redness<\/li>\n<li>Slight swelling<\/li>\n<li>A feeling of fullness within the scar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These effects are usually temporary and improve within a few days.<\/p>\n<p>Over the following weeks, the keloid may gradually become:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Flatter<\/li>\n<li>Softer<\/li>\n<li>Less itchy<\/li>\n<li>Less painful<\/li>\n<li>Less noticeable in color and thickness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Improvement is gradual and typically occurs over multiple treatment sessions.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>What Are the Risks?<\/h1>\n<p>Keloid Injections are generally well tolerated when performed by a qualified dermatologist. However, potential side effects may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Temporary pain at the injection site<\/li>\n<li>Redness or swelling<\/li>\n<li>Bruising<\/li>\n<li>Skin thinning (atrophy)<\/li>\n<li>Lightening of the skin (hypopigmentation)<\/li>\n<li>Small visible blood vessels near the treated area<\/li>\n<li>Recurrence of the keloid over time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your dermatologist will carefully select the appropriate treatment approach, medication, and injection technique to help minimize these risks.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>How Many Treatments Will I Need?<\/h1>\n<p>Keloids usually require multiple treatment sessions because scar tissue responds gradually to treatment.<\/p>\n<p>The number and frequency of treatments depend on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The size and thickness of the keloid<\/li>\n<li>Its location on the body<\/li>\n<li>The age of the scar<\/li>\n<li>Your individual response to treatment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Treatments are commonly scheduled every <strong>4\u20136 weeks<\/strong>, although your dermatologist will determine the most appropriate treatment interval based on your condition and response.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>What Should I Do After Keloid Injections?<\/h1>\n<p>To support healing and scar management, you may be advised to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep the treated area clean.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid scratching or rubbing the scar.<\/li>\n<li>Protect the area from excessive sun exposure.<\/li>\n<li>Apply sunscreen to exposed scars once the skin has healed.<\/li>\n<li>Follow any prescribed skincare or scar management recommendations.<\/li>\n<li>Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Avoid applying non-prescribed topical products to the treated area unless recommended by your dermatologist.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>When Should I Contact My Doctor?<\/h1>\n<p>Contact your dermatologist promptly if you experience:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Increasing pain or swelling<\/li>\n<li>Persistent redness or warmth<\/li>\n<li>Pus or unusual discharge<\/li>\n<li>Fever or other signs of infection<\/li>\n<li>Significant skin breakdown<\/li>\n<li>Rapid enlargement of the scar after treatment<\/li>\n<li>Any unexpected or concerning symptoms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Early evaluation allows potential complications to be identified and managed appropriately.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>Results and Follow-Up<\/h1>\n<p>The effectiveness of treatment is evaluated over time through regular follow-up visits. Your dermatologist will assess changes in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Scar height<\/li>\n<li>Thickness<\/li>\n<li>Firmness<\/li>\n<li>Color<\/li>\n<li>Itching and pain<\/li>\n<li>Overall cosmetic appearance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some patients may benefit from combining Keloid Injections with other treatments, such as silicone therapy, laser treatment, pressure therapy, or surgical scar management when clinically indicated.<\/p>\n<p>Your treatment plan will be individualized according to your scar characteristics, treatment response, and long-term goals.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: RS Abdi Waluyo Overview What Are Keloid Injections?
