Keloids grow beyond the original wound and are recurrence-prone, so treatment usually combines 2 to 3 modalities across a planned series to flatten and control them.
Keloid treatment in Myeongdong, Seoul combines modalities such as intralesional steroid injection, pulsed-dye or fractional laser, and silicone therapy to flatten, soften, and calm the scar over a series of sessions. Because keloids are recurrence-prone, they are managed and controlled, not cured in one visit, with Dr. Seung Jae Baek, Medical Director, tailoring the plan.

Keloid treatment is a doctor-led plan to flatten, soften, and calm a keloid, which is scar tissue that grows beyond the boundary of the original wound because collagen production stays overactive during healing. Unlike an ordinary scar, a keloid is firm, often raised and red or dark, and it is recurrence-prone, so treatment focuses on controlling it over time rather than a single removal.
At our Myeongdong (Seoul) location, keloid care combines several modalities matched to the scar’s features. Intralesional corticosteroid injections calm the overactive collagen and inflammation, laser reduces redness and remodels texture, and silicone therapy supports the skin between visits. Because no single tool addresses every feature, most plans layer these approaches across a series of sessions spaced weeks apart.
Reberry Clinic supports international patients in English in Myeongdong, Seoul, Korea, near Myeongdong Station (about 5 minutes away). Dr. Seung Jae Baek, Medical Director, first assesses the keloid’s size, site, and history, then builds a tailored plan. Keloids are managed and controlled rather than cured in one visit, so realistic expectations and follow-up are part of the approach.
Keloid treatment works by targeting the different features that make a keloid grow and persist. Intralesional corticosteroid injections deliver medication directly into the scar to calm overactive collagen and inflammation, and are often combined with agents like 5-fluorouracil to lower the chance of recurrence. Pulsed-dye laser targets the blood vessels feeding the scar, reducing redness and vascularity, while fractional laser delivers controlled micro-columns of energy to remodel thickness and surface texture. Silicone sheets or gel add gentle occlusion and hydration that support the healing scar between sessions. Because each modality addresses a distinct part of the picture, they are layered rather than used alone, which improves control of recurrence-prone scars over time. Size, site, and tension guide intensity and frequency: a small ear-lobe keloid may need a short course, while a large or high-tension keloid on the chest or shoulder usually needs more visits and closer follow-up. The clinic’s doctors sequence treatments so the skin is not over-stressed in any one session.

The clinic’s doctors measure the keloid in millimetres, evaluate its site, and review past recurrence to plan the right combination of 2 to 3 modalities.
Intralesional steroid injections, often repeated about every 3 to 4 weeks, are placed into the scar to reduce overactive collagen and inflammation.
If the keloid is red or vascular, 1 or more pulsed-dye laser sessions target the blood vessels to calm the colour of the scar.
Fractional laser delivers controlled micro-columns of energy across several sessions to soften thickness and improve the surface of the keloid.
Silicone therapy and follow-up over the next 3 to 6 months help control recurrence, because keloids are managed rather than fixed in a single visit.

Dr. Seung Jae Baek, Medical Director, assesses your keloid’s size, site, and history in English, then explains which modalities your plan combines and what to expect.
Once a plan is agreed, your first session usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes depending on the modalities involved.
Keloid plans run as a course of sessions spaced weeks apart, because the scar is treated in stages rather than a single visit.
Keloids typically flatten and soften over several sessions across weeks to months, with redness usually easing first and thickness reducing more slowly.
Because keloids are recurrence-prone, silicone or pressure aftercare and occasional maintenance help control them and hold results over the long term.
Keloid treatment combines modalities that each target a different feature: intralesional steroid injection calms overactive collagen, laser reduces redness and remodels texture, and silicone supports the scar. These are layered across a series of sessions. You can see the broader approach on our laser treatment page first.
Keloids are recurrence-prone, so they are managed and controlled rather than cured in one course. Treatment flattens, softens, and calms the scar, and aftercare helps hold results. Your doctor sets realistic expectations at consultation and explains why ongoing monitoring is part of keloid care, not a single-visit fix.
The main options are intralesional corticosteroid injection, pulsed-dye laser for redness, fractional laser for texture, and silicone therapy for support, often combined with 5-fluorouracil to lower recurrence. Your doctor selects and sequences these based on the keloid’s features. Related laser work is outlined on our laser treatment page.
Because no single tool addresses every feature of a keloid, combining injection, laser, and silicone controls collagen, redness, and texture together, which studies link to lower recurrence. A single approach may leave part of the scar untreated. Your doctor decides the combination at consultation based on the keloid’s size and behaviour.
Steroid injections are usually repeated about every 3 to 4 weeks, and combination plans run across several visits, so treatment is a course rather than a single session. The exact number depends on the keloid’s size and how it responds, which Dr. Seung Jae Baek reviews and adjusts between sessions.
Injections cause brief stinging, and laser sessions feel like quick warm snaps, both generally tolerable and short. Numbing can be used where helpful. Because sessions are spaced weeks apart and each is brief, discomfort is temporary. Your doctor explains what to expect for each modality before you begin the plan.
Downtime is usually minimal: injections leave brief soreness, and laser can cause short-lived redness for a few days. Most people return to daily activities quickly. Your doctor gives aftercare so the treated area is protected, and sessions are timed so the skin is never over-stressed in one visit.
Yes, pulsed-dye laser targets the blood vessels feeding a red keloid to calm its colour, and fractional laser remodels thickness and surface texture. Laser is usually layered with injection rather than used alone. Whether it is part of your plan is decided at consultation based on the keloid’s features.
Visible flattening and softening build over several sessions across weeks to months, not after a single visit. Redness often settles first, while thickness reduces more slowly. Your doctor reviews progress between sessions and adjusts the plan so it stays matched to how your keloid responds.
Keloids are recurrence-prone, especially at high-tension sites, which is why treatment is combined and followed by silicone or pressure aftercare to control recurrence. Ongoing monitoring is part of the plan. A supportive skin care routine also helps protect the treated area between and after sessions.
Surgical excision is considered only in select cases and rarely alone, because cutting a keloid can trigger a larger recurrence if not paired with other treatment. Most plans here are non-surgical, using injection, laser, and silicone. Your doctor discusses whether surgery is appropriate for your specific keloid at consultation.
Most adults with small to moderate keloids, and those with recurrent keloids, are suitable for a structured plan. A consultation assesses the keloid and confirms which modalities fit your skin. Very large or complex keloids may need closer monitoring, which your doctor will explain upfront before treatment begins.
Yes, deeper skin tones are more keloid-prone and may need more conservative laser settings to avoid pigment changes. Your doctor adjusts wavelength and energy to your skin type at consultation. This individualised approach is why settings are chosen per person rather than applied identically to everyone.
Silicone sheets or gel, sun protection, and avoiding tension or trauma on the scar are important to help control recurrence. Some patients add supportive products. A gentle skin care routine protects the area between sessions. Your doctor gives tailored aftercare so the keloid stays calm as it heals.
Keloid treatment is offered at our Myeongdong (Seoul) location at 5, Myeongdong 10-gil, Jung-gu, about 5 minutes from Myeongdong Station, with Dr. Seung Jae Baek, Medical Director. International patients receive English support. You can book a review via our laser treatment page.
For a first session, 2 to 3 days is comfortable, allowing a consultation, the procedure, and a short review. Because keloid plans run as a course, many international patients begin in Seoul and continue across return visits. Our English-speaking team helps coordinate timing around your travel.
Yes, flying within a day or so is generally fine, as injections and laser passes are minimally invasive. Keep the area protected from sun and avoid friction on the scar. If you had laser, your doctor will advise on aftercare so the treated keloid stays protected while you travel.
International patients can complete a keloid course across return visits, and the clinic offers remote check-ins in English between trips so the plan stays on track. You can continue supportive skin care and silicone aftercare at home. Your treatment notes are kept on file for continuity.
