Keloids are managed with a combined plan — often laser plus intralesional injections and silicone — across a course of roughly 3 to 6 sessions, because they are recurrence-prone.
Keloid treatment combines modalities — most often intralesional steroid injections, laser such as pulsed dye or fractional laser, and silicone support — to flatten the scar and reduce its return. Because keloids are recurrence-prone, they are managed over a course, not fixed in one visit. For patients near Hongdae Station, care is provided across our Seoul locations.

A keloid is a raised, firm, often shiny scar that grows beyond the boundaries of the original wound and does not settle on its own. Unlike a normal scar or even a hypertrophic scar, a keloid results from an overactive healing response in which fibroblasts lay down too much collagen, and it is notably prone to returning after treatment. Common sites include the earlobes, chest, shoulders, upper back, and jawline, and keloids can itch, feel tender, or cause self-consciousness.
Because no single method reliably controls keloids, modern care is built around combination therapy. Intralesional corticosteroid injections soften and flatten the scar; laser passes such as pulsed dye laser target the redness and vessels feeding it, while fractional laser helps remodel thickened tissue; and silicone sheeting or gel supports the surface between visits. Some plans add 5-fluorouracil for stubborn keloids. Treatment runs as a managed course over several sessions with follow-up, precisely because keloids can recur.
At Reberry Clinic, keloid care is consultation-led and doctor-performed. For international patients searching near Hongdae (Hongik Univ.) Station, care is provided across our Seoul locations (Gangnam, Myeongdong), easily reached from 홍대입구역, with full English support so you understand the plan, the likely number of sessions, and how recurrence is managed before treatment begins.
Keloid treatment works by targeting several parts of the scar’s biology at once, because a keloid is driven by excess collagen, active blood vessels, and chronic inflammation. Intralesional corticosteroids are injected directly into the scar to suppress the overactive fibroblasts and reduce collagen bulk, gradually softening and flattening the lesion over a series of injections spaced about 3 to 4 weeks apart. Pulsed dye laser emits a wavelength absorbed by the haemoglobin in the keloid’s blood vessels, reducing redness and the vascular supply that feeds ongoing growth, while non-ablative or ablative fractional lasers create controlled micro-zones that help remodel dense scar tissue and can improve the delivery of topical or injected agents. Silicone sheeting or gel maintains hydration and a supportive barrier that has long been used to calm scar activity. Because each modality addresses a different mechanism, combining them is more effective than any one alone at flattening the keloid and lowering the chance of recurrence. The doctor sequences and spaces treatments so the skin is not over-stressed, and because keloids are recurrence-prone, the plan includes monitoring and maintenance rather than a single definitive session.

The doctor examines the size, thickness, number, and activity of your keloids and reviews prior treatments in 1 consultation before planning.
Corticosteroid is injected into the scar to suppress excess collagen, usually repeated every 3 to 4 weeks across the course to soften bulk.
Pulsed dye laser reduces redness and vessels, while fractional laser remodels thickened tissue, typically layered over 3 to 6 sessions.
Silicone sheeting or gel supports the surface daily between visits, one of the most established measures for calming scar activity.
Because keloids can recur, the plan includes reviews over 6 to 12 months so treatment escalates early if the scar becomes active again.

See representative outcomes from Reberry Clinic. Results build gradually and vary by individual; your plan is assessed at consultation.
The clinic’s doctors assess your keloids, review any prior care, and explain which combined modalities your plan needs, in English.
A session combining injection and laser usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes depending on how many keloids are treated.
Keloid care runs as a managed course, typically 3 to 6 sessions spaced about 3 to 4 weeks apart, mapped to your response.
Keloids soften and flatten gradually over the series across weeks to months, with itch and tenderness often easing first.
Because keloids are recurrence-prone, silicone support and reviews over 6 to 12 months help control them and catch any return early.
A keloid is a raised scar that grows beyond the original wound and tends to return. It is treated with combined modalities such as intralesional steroid injections, laser, and silicone across a managed course. You can learn more on our laser treatment page before booking a consultation with our doctors.
For international patients searching near Hongdae (Hongik Univ.) Station, care is provided across our Seoul locations in Gangnam and Myeongdong, both easily reached from 홍대입구역. Our English-speaking team helps you plan treatment and travel. You can review our laser treatment services to begin.
Pulsed dye laser targets the haemoglobin in the keloid’s blood vessels to reduce redness and the vascular supply feeding its growth, while fractional laser helps remodel thickened tissue. Laser is usually combined with injections rather than used alone. Your doctor selects the device and settings after examining your keloids at consultation.
Most keloids improve over a course of about 3 to 6 sessions spaced roughly 3 to 4 weeks apart, because they respond gradually and are recurrence-prone. The exact number depends on keloid size, number, and how it responds. Your doctor reviews progress between visits and adjusts the plan to keep it effective.
Keloids are recurrence-prone, so treatment manages and controls them rather than being a one-time fix. Combined modalities and maintenance reviews reduce the chance of return, but no plan can promise it will never recur. Your doctor builds follow-up over 6 to 12 months into the plan to catch any regrowth early.
Discomfort is usually brief and manageable: injections cause a short stinging sensation, and laser passes feel like quick warm snaps for a few seconds. Numbing options are available for laser where needed. Most patients tolerate the short sessions well, and any redness or tenderness settles over the following days.
Downtime is minimal, with brief redness, mild swelling, or slight bruising at injection sites for a few days. Most people return to normal routines quickly. Your doctor gives tailored aftercare, and a gentle skin care routine plus silicone support helps the treated area recover between sessions.
Keloids soften and flatten gradually across the series over weeks to months, not after a single visit. Itch and tenderness often ease first, then bulk and redness reduce more slowly. Your doctor reviews progress between sessions so the plan stays matched to how your keloid responds over the managed course.
Keloids are managed and controlled rather than cured in one visit, because they are recurrence-prone by nature. Combined treatment can flatten and calm them substantially, and maintenance helps sustain that, but recurrence remains possible. Your doctor sets realistic expectations at consultation based on your specific keloids rather than promising permanent removal.
Silicone sheeting or gel is one of the most established supportive measures for keloids, maintaining hydration and a protective barrier that helps calm scar activity. It is used daily at home between in-clinic sessions rather than as a standalone cure. Your doctor advises how to combine it with your skin care routine.
Surgery alone is generally avoided for keloids because excision without adjuvant therapy can recur in a high proportion of cases. When surgery is considered, it is paired with injections, laser, or other measures to control recurrence. Our approach is non-surgical, combined management; your doctor explains what suits your keloids at consultation.
Most adults with single or multiple keloids, including active, itchy, or thickened ones, are suitable for a structured plan. A consultation assesses your keloids and confirms which combined modalities fit. Larger or recurrence-prone keloids may need more intensive plans and maintenance, which your doctor explains upfront during assessment.
Keloid treatment is widely performed and generally considered safe when a doctor matches modalities and settings to your keloids and skin type. A consultation reduces risks such as temporary pigment change or skin thinning. You can review the broader approach on our laser treatment page first.
Your skin type can influence which laser settings are safest, since deeper tones may need more conservative parameters to avoid pigment change. Keloids themselves occur across many skin types and often run in families. Your doctor accounts for this at consultation so the plan is both safe and appropriate for your skin.
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 managed course, many international patients begin in Seoul and continue across return visits. Our English-speaking team helps coordinate timing around your travel dates.
Yes, flying within a day or so is generally fine, since injections and laser passes are minimally invasive with short downtime. Keep the treated area clean and protect it from sun. If you had laser resurfacing, your doctor advises on aftercare while you travel so healing stays on track.
International patients can complete a keloid course across one or more visits, and the clinic offers English remote check-ins between trips so the managed plan stays on track. You can continue silicone and supportive skin care at home. Your treatment notes are kept on file for continuity and future monitoring.
