Frequently Asked Questions

How are MetaDerm keloid injections different from others?

Different dermatologists have different approaches to treating scars. At MetaDerm, we use:

  • Higher-strength corticosteroid injections
  • A more superficial level of placement for the injections
  • A combination of steroids and 5-Fluorouracil
  • Pulse-dye laser or cryotherapy for pre-treatment
  • Topical CS preps in combination with lasers
  • Anti-wrinkle options to reduce scar contractions.
Can lasers effectively treat keloids and hypertrophic scars?

Flat red scars respond well to pulse dye lasers, which reduce the blood vessels in the scars. Raised keloids that are resistant to injections will respond well to fractional CO2 lasers. 

For optimal results, you will require about 2-8 sessions every 6-8 weeks.

 

What are Keloid scars? Why are they very challenging to treat?

Keloid scars are raised scars that occur as a result of burns and skin trauma, or surgery. These types of scars are commonly seen on ethnic skin types and also change colour on the surface (to red or darker skin tone).

Dermatologists, despite their expertise and experience in treating all types of scars, find these keloid scars challenging because, in most cases, these scars occur in different areas of the body at different stages of development.
