Treatment information

During the treatment, a solution of depot (long-acting) corticosteroids is injected directly into the scar. The aim of the therapy is to reduce, soften and lighten keloid scars, which develop after various types of skin damage. They usually extend beyond the boundaries of the original injury or procedure and are sometimes accompanied by pain or unpleasant tightness.

What you can expect from the treatment

A visible improvement may occur after the first application. To maintain a lasting effect, repeated application is needed, usually at intervals of 3 – 4 weeks over several months.

A temporary side effect may be a pinkish discolouration of the scar or the appearance of small blood vessels in and around the scar.
