What the procedure involves.
China's dermatology and plastic surgery departments offer advanced multimodal keloid treatment programs combining intralesional injections, laser therapy, cryotherapy, radiation, and surgical excision with adjuvant therapies. Chinese dermatologists have extensive experience treating keloids in Asian skin types, which have higher keloid prevalence, resulting in refined protocols that minimize recurrence rates while achieving optimal cosmetic outcomes.
Step by step.
Keloid Assessment & Classification
Detailed evaluation of keloid size, location, age, symptoms, and previous treatment history. Ultrasound measurement of scar depth and vascularity. Classification guides selection of optimal treatment combination.
Primary Treatment Intervention
Based on keloid characteristics: intralesional corticosteroid/5-FU injection, surgical excision with immediate adjuvant therapy, pulsed dye laser for vascular component, or cryotherapy for small lesions.
Adjuvant Anti-Recurrence Therapy
Post-excision electron beam radiation (if indicated), silicone sheeting, pressure therapy, and serial intralesional injections at 3-4 week intervals to prevent keloid recurrence.
Long-Term Monitoring & Scar Optimization
Fractional laser resurfacing for residual texture irregularity, continued silicone therapy, and periodic assessment for early recurrence detection. Customized maintenance protocol based on individual healing response.
- Extensive Asian skin expertise — keloid management refined for higher-risk patients
- Multimodal approach significantly reduces recurrence rates
- Access to electron beam radiation and advanced laser technology at lower cost
- Combined dermatology and plastic surgery team collaboration
- Keloid recurrence rate remains 10-40% even with optimal treatment
- Corticosteroid injections may cause skin atrophy or hypopigmentation
- Radiation carries long-term considerations for certain body areas
- Multiple treatment sessions require extended stay or return visits
