Can facial lasers cause keloids?

Doctor's Answer

Unfortunately anything that breaches the skin, including fractional lasers (which really depends on the degree of injury induced by the laser settings) has a risk of keloid formation.

It is hard to ascertain if it will occur, but you might want to discuss with your doctor on the various modalities. As Dr Chua mentioned, non-ablative lasers can be useful in solving your skin concerns too!
