Keloid scars Treatment in Al Shunnar Plastic Surgery Clinic
About the clinic
Keloid scar treatment at Al Shunnar Plastic Surgery Clinic in Dubai provides specialized care for raised or thickened scar tissue. The clinic is led by Dr. Buthainah Al-Shunnar, a consultant plastic surgeon who trained at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Dr. Buthainah Al-Shunnar holds double board certification from the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery.
The facility is recognized as the Cosmetic Surgery Clinic of the Year by the UAE Business Awards and holds an award from the Dubai Health Authority. Surgeons here use a variety of non-invasive and surgical methods to flatten scar tissue and improve skin appearance. Each patient receives a personalized scar management plan after a consultation with a board-certified specialist.
Scar diagnostics and consultation
The diagnostic process at Al Shunnar Plastic Surgery Clinic involves a thorough physical evaluation of the scar tissue. During this session, the surgeon determines the type of scar and its responsiveness to different therapies. The evaluation includes:
- Consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. This meeting helps identify the best treatment course.
- Review of scar history. The doctor examines the size, age, and location of the keloid.
- Plan development. The surgeon creates a strategy to prevent keloid recurrence after removal.
Keloid treatment and surgical options
The clinic uses advanced platforms, such as the Harmony XL Pro, to address various skin concerns. Depending on the size and severity of the scar, patients can choose between non-invasive therapies or surgical intervention.
- Cryotherapy. This method uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and flatten smaller keloids.
- Steroid injections. Corticosteroid injections help reduce inflammation and shrink the scar.
- Laser surgery. Surgeons use fractional or pulsed dye lasers to ablate and flatten scar tissue.
- Surgical excision. This procedure involves the direct removal of larger scar tissue.
- Silicone gel or pressure treatment. Medical-grade silicone sheets or gel pads help reduce scar prominence.
To achieve the best results, surgeons often combine surgical excision with follow-up steroid injections or pressure therapy. This reduces the risk of the keloid growing back. You can request a consultation for keloid management at Al Shunnar Plastic Surgery Clinic through Bookimed.

- Breast augmentation with fat transfer or implants
