Keloids are caused by an overgrowth of tissues that usually develops during our skin healing process. They are usually red or purple in color and have the appearance of a raised scar. Common areas for the formation of keloid scars are the upper chest and shoulder area. Treatments for keloid removal include laser treatments or steroid injections. Depending on your skin condition, you can discuss with your doctor to see which treatment suits you best.

Nd-YAG Laser
Nd-YAG Laser, also known as YAG Spectra Laser, is a technologically-advanced non-ablative laser that can be used to treat several different skin conditions, like facial thread veins, dull skin, sagging skin, and excessive hair growth.
Fractional CO2 Laser
The fractional CO2 laser is a medical aesthetics technology that can treat several skin conditions like dull skin, wrinkles, fine lines, and skin texture and tone without any discomfort or inconvenience of long treatment duration.

PicoSure®
PicoSure® represents the cutting-edge type of laser technology known as short-pulse lasers. These lasers are designed to “flash” incredibly quickly, in PicoSure®’s case in trillionths of a second. This rapid flashing minimizes the amount of heat and creates a photomechanical effect that’s highly effective in removing tattoo ink and unwanted pigment. PressureWave™ technology is applied by using a unique wavelength of light (755nm) and a specialized lens to convert laser energy into gentle pressure. This pressure squeezes cells, activating the natural cell signaling processes that create new collagen and elastin without burning or damaging the skin. PicoSure® doesn’t rely on heat to burn away and destroy skin to force the body to heal. PicoSure®’s ultra-fast pulses and specialized wavelengths work together to minimize the amount of heat that is transferred. Less heat means less damage to surrounding skin and less risk of injury.
