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.
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.
