Keloid Scar Treatment at Nakseongdae Dermatology, at Human Dermatology Seoul National University Branch

"The wound has healed, so why does the scar

look even more noticeable?"

It started as a small wound, but as time passed it became red,

and gradually rose up, becoming a keloid scar that stands out

even more. It not only causes stress in terms of appearance,

but can also come with itching or throbbing discomfort,

affecting quality of life. In particular, for people who are

prone to scarring, even minor irritation can easily lead to

keloids, making prevention and early treatment very important.

At Human Dermatology Seoul National University Branch,

we propose personalized treatment solutions for each patient

through a fundamental approach to keloid scars.

Keloids are more than just simple scars; over time, they can

thicken, become more intensely red, and even cause symptoms

such as pain or itching, making them a difficult-to-treat skin

disorder. In many cases, ordinary scar ointments or laser

treatments are not enough to achieve satisfactory improvement,

so consistent, customized treatment is needed.

At Human Dermatology Seoul National University Branch,

located at Exit 7 of Seoul National University Station, we are

improving both scar size and redness effectively through a

treatment that combines keloid injections and the V-beam

Perfecta (V-beam Perfecta) laser.

Keloid scar treatment

❓ What is a keloid?

Nakseongdae Dermatology keloid

✔ It is an abnormal proliferation of fibrous tissue in which the

wound area becomes even larger and grows thicker than the

surrounding skin.

✔ It is accompanied by redness, itching, and pain, and can also

cause psychological stress.

✔ It often occurs in areas that receive a lot of irritation, such as

behind the ears, the chest, and the shoulders.

💉 Keloid injection (steroid injection)

How does it work?

Keloid injections are usually administered by directly injecting

steroid ingredients such as triamcinolone (triamcinolone

acetonide) into the scar tissue. This injection helps improve

keloids through the following actions!

📌 Suppresses collagen production: Keloids form thick,

raised scars because excess collagen accumulates more than

normal. Steroids suppress this and help soften the tissue.

📌 Relieves inflammation: It eases inflammatory symptoms in the

keloid area, such as itching, stinging, and redness.

📌 Induces tissue contraction: It helps reduce swollen scar tissue

and make it flatter.

Treatment is usually repeated at 2- to 4-week intervals, and

depending on the size of the scar and how it progresses, more

than 3 to 10 sessions may be needed.

💡 V-beam Perfecta laser

(V-beam Perfecta)

– The key to vascular-based scar treatment

The V-beam Perfecta is a 595nm vascular laser that targets the

redness, blood vessel proliferation, and inflammation of keloids.

✅ Precise targeted treatment: This laser selectively responds

after extended blood vessels within the scar, allowing treatment

without damaging the surrounding skin tissue.

✅ Redness relief: After the procedure, erythema fades and the

scar borders appear less prominent.

✅ Recurrence suppression through blood flow blockage: By

reducing blood vessels, it also suppresses collagen supply and

lowers the possibility of regrowth.

✅ Skin protection system: It has a built-in cooling device

(Cryogen Spray Cooling), which reduces the risk of skin burns

and minimizes pain and bruising after the procedure.

It is usually performed at 1-month intervals for 3 to 5 sessions or

more, and the more pronounced the redness, the better the

effect.

🔁 Synergistic effect of combination treatment

Category	Keloid injection	V-beam Perfecta	Effect when combined
Raised scar improvement	O	△	✅ Up to more than 70% reduction
Redness relief	△	O	✅ Up to more than 90% reduction
Recurrence rate	30~50%	40%	✅ Reduced to 15~20%
Recovery time	Fast	Fast	✅ Return to daily life immediately

When these two treatments are combined, the greatest benefit is

that they can soften raised scars while also improving the red

color that makes them visually stand out.

In particular, they are highly effective for early keloids with a

high vascular component, and the synergy is strong because they

can also lower the recurrence rate.

Keloids do not simply end as "scars that last a long time." In

severe cases, many people experience pain, persistent

inflammation, or even discomfort in daily life from irritation

when clothing or accessories touch the area.

Therefore, scar treatment should be approached not only from a

cosmetic perspective, but also from the standpoint of treating a

"disease" to reduce functional discomfort. The timing of

treatment is also crucial: if active treatment is started in the

early stage while redness remains, faster and more satisfying

improvement can be expected!

Premium equipment and skilled procedure expertise

Thorough post-procedure care to minimize recurrence

Keloid scars are a skin condition that can have a major impact

not only on appearance but also on quality of life and mental

well-being. At Human Dermatology Seoul National University

Branch, we combine keloid injections with the V-beam Perfecta

laser to improve both scar protrusion and redness at the same

time and provide a combined treatment solution that lowers the

recurrence rate.

📌 Treatment timing and prevention are important

It is most effective to start treatment when redness and pain are

present in the early stage of a keloid.

It is important to provide early care right after a wound occurs

so that the scar does not grow larger, and if a scar is suspected

after surgery or acne, consultation with a specialist is

recommended.
