How Gentlecure's Keloid Treatment Transforms Your Skin
Targeted Energy:
The treatment uses a precise, low dose of X-ray energy that is delivered directly to the keloid.
Stops Growth:
This energy penetrates only a few millimeters into the skin, specifically targeting the overactive cells (fibroblasts) that cause the keloid to grow and produce excess collagen.
Flattens & Softens:
By disrupting these cells, the treatment prevents the keloid from continuing to grow and encourages it to flatten, soften, and fade over time.
Your Keloid Treatment Journey
Comprehensive Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation with our board-certified dermatologists. We’ll examine your skin and scar types, and review your medical history to create an accurate treatment plan.
This is also your opportunity to ask questions about your treatment options, expected results, and maintenance strategies. Our goal is to make sure you feel fully informed and confident about your care plan every step of the way.
Custom Treatment Plan
You’ll receive a personalized treatment plan designed for the specific size and type of your keloid scars. Our comprehensive treatment options include GentleCure (a non-invasive, pain-free SRT treatment), corticosteroid injections, and surgical removal followed by treatment to prevent recurrence.
Our experienced providers will guide you through your treatment journey with regular follow-ups to monitor your progress and adjust your plan as needed. This ensures you get the best possible outcome with minimal disruption to your lifestyle.
