Diagnostic Process

Diagnosis starts with a comprehensive consultation. Specialists evaluate the scar's size, location, and behavior. Available diagnostics include:

• Specialist consultation for personalized assessment.
• Dermatoscopy and imaging analysis for detailed evaluation.
• Scalp biopsy if necessary to confirm the diagnosis.

Available Treatment Methods

The clinic offers a complete spectrum of treatments. The choice depends on scar characteristics and patient goals. Options include:

• Corticosteroid injections: This minimally invasive therapy helps flatten and soften scars over multiple sessions.
• Cryotherapy: This cold therapy freezes and shrinks the scar tissue without making incisions.
• Laser therapy: Advanced CO2 or fractional laser systems improve scar texture and appearance.
• Stem cell therapy: This regenerative approach uses the patient's cells to promote natural healing and better results.
• Surgical scar revision: This procedure excises the keloid and reconstructs the area for a more permanent solution.

Treatments can be combined for optimal outcomes. For example, surgery is often followed by preventive injections to reduce recurrence. Discussing your case with Dr. Herrero Jover helps determine the best individual plan.
