Keloid Removal in Brampton, Mississauga & GTA

Keloid Removal in Brampton

When trauma to our skin occurs – even via surgical incision, piercings, burns, chickenpox, or acne – our body will try to cover and protect the damaged area with thicker tissue. Occasionally, extra scar tissue will form and will take the shape of smooth, solid growths called keloids. Often, these scars can be bigger than the area of the original injury.

Keloids often form slowly over the course of weeks, months, or even years. Once a keloid forms, it is permanent until removed or treated successfully. It is common for keloids that have been removed to return.

The Ideal Candidate	Just about anyone can be a candidate for keloid removal. The type of treatment, however, is dependent on a number of factors. This will be discussed in depth in a consultation with Dr. Sleightholm.
Target Areas	Keloids can form anywhere on the body, so the target area is anywhere the keloid may reside.
Average Cost	This procedure starts at $750.

Surgical removal.
A combination of surgical removal and radiation therapy.

A consultation with our doctor will help determine the appropriate treatment which will safely deliver optimal results for the patient. We have seen excellent results with these therapies, all of which cause minimal pain for the patient.
