Our Approach to Keloid Scar Removal
Keloid scars are raised and thickened areas of skin that form when the body produces too much collagen during the healing process. Unlike normal scars, keloids continue to grow beyond the boundary of the original wound. They may cause discomfort, itching, or tightness; for many patients, keloid scars also affect confidence and self-image.
At Pinnacle Clinic, we provide safe, professional keloid scar treatment in Keighley and across the UK. We focus on improving comfort and appearance while ensuring every treatment is carried out responsibly by qualified doctors in a CQC-registered clinic.

Preparing for Keloid Scar Removal Keighley: Complete UK Guide
How Does Keloid Scar Treatment Work?
- Consultation & Assessment
A GMC-registered doctor assesses the scar’s size, location, and history. Your medical background is reviewed to ensure treatment suitability. Options are explained, including what happens if the scar is left untreated.
- Treatment Options
Steroid Injections – Corticosteroids are injected directly into the scar to soften and flatten it. This treatment may need multiple sessions.
Excision + Steroid Therapy – For larger or more persistent keloids, surgical removal may be performed, followed by steroid injections to minimise regrowth.
Laser Treatment – A focused laser reduces thickness and improves scar colour and texture. Patients often ask about the cost of laser treatment for keloid scars in the UK — prices are provided clearly during consultation, with no hidden charges.
What Happens During the Procedure?
Preparation: The area is cleaned and numbed with a local anaesthetic.
Treatment: Depending on the chosen option, a steroid injection, excision, or laser treatment is performed.
Duration: Most treatments take 20–45 minutes.
Recovery: Patients usually go home the same day and return to light activities quickly.
Safety & Risks
At Pinnacle Clinic, safety is always the priority. Trained professionals carry out treatments under CQC supervision.
Possible Risks (though uncommon):
- Possible risks include temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness.
- There may also be minor scars or changes in pigmentation at the treatment site.
- Recurrence of keloid (even after surgery or laser).
Alternatives & At-Home Options
Some patients ask about keloid scar treatment at home, including silicone sheets, creams, or oils. While these may help soften scars, they rarely obliterate keloids.
If left untreated, keloids usually remain or grow slowly over time. They are harmless but may continue causing discomfort. For best results, professional treatment at a regulated clinic is recommended.
Before & After Keloid Scar Treatment
Patients often ask about visible results. While each case is unique:
Before treatment, scars appear raised, red/dark, and may feel itchy or tight.
After treatment, scars become flatter, softer, less visible, and more comfortable.
We avoid misleading “before and after” photos per ASA guidance. Instead, we provide realistic expectations and clinical explanations during consultation.
Cost of Keloid Scar Removal
Pricing depends on the size, location, and type of treatment chosen (steroid injection, excision, or laser).
- Steroid injection sessions: typically start from around £150–£250 per session.
- Laser treatment for keloid scars may range from £200 to £500 per session, depending on the clinic and technology used.
- Surgical excision + steroid therapy: priced individually and explained before treatment.
At Pinnacle Clinic, all costs are discussed transparently during consultation, with no hidden fees. Patients receive a written breakdown before treatment, so you always know exactly what to expect.
Results You Can Expect
- Flattening of the scar over weeks to months.
- Reduced itching, redness, and discomfort.
- Improved cosmetic appearance with smoother skin texture.
Important to note: While treatments are highly effective, keloids can recur, even after successful removal. Our team will explain recurrence risks and offer maintenance strategies if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who gets keloid scars?
Keloid scars can affect anyone, but they are more common in younger people, those with darker skin types, and in families with a history of keloids.
Can you prevent keloid scars?
Yes, prevention is possible in some cases. Avoid unnecessary piercings, tattoos, or cosmetic surgery if you are prone to keloids. Covering wounds and using silicone gels or sheets early may reduce risk.
How are keloid scars treated?
Treatment options include steroid injections, surgical removal with steroid therapy, and laser treatment. Each aims to flatten the scar, relieve discomfort, and improve appearance.
How to flatten a keloid scar naturally?
Natural methods such as silicone sheets, pressure dressings, and moisturizers may help reduce thickness, but results are limited compared to professional treatments.
What is a keloid scar?
A keloid scar is a thick, raised scar that grows beyond the original wound boundary due to overproduction of collagen during healing.
Are keloid scars permanent?
Without treatment, keloids usually remain and may even enlarge over time. Professional care can flatten them and make them less visible.
Can keloid scars become cancerous?
No, keloid scars are not cancerous and do not turn into cancer. A lump mistaken for a keloid is rare, so medical assessment is essential.
Are keloid scars painful?
Some keloids cause pain, tenderness, or itching, while others are only a cosmetic concern. Treatments often reduce these symptoms.
