Keloids present as red raised scars and are often treated with steroid injections to flatten these scars.
Combination treatment with the VBEAM laser and steroid injections can also be used and such combination treatments are found to be better at flattening and lightening these raised scars.
Usually 4-5 monthly treatments are advised and most patients will see excellent results. For some patients who are prone to recurrence, 3 monthly maintenance treatment may be required.
The cost depends on the number of scars we are treating, and can vary from $400-800 usually.
Hope this helps!
Warmest regards
