Contact UsWhat Are Scars and Keloids?
Hypertrophic scars and keloids are blemishes that can be found on most individuals, occurring as a result of injuries or surgical procedures. A hypertrophic scar is a long-lasting, thickened plaque remaining on the skin after it has healed. In contrast, a keloid is a scar that has enlarged and grown beyond the original injury site as a result of too much collagen being produced during the healing phase. While some scars aren't a problem, certain scars can be itchy or painful, as well as cosmetically unappealing. Depending on the condition of your scar or keloid and its location on your body, Dr. Payne at Flourish Dermatology And Aesthetics specializes in treatments that may help minimize its appearance so you can move forward pain-free and with confidence. Contact our New Orleans, LA dermatology practice to learn more and start your treatment.
How Do You Treat Scars and Keloids?
Before suggesting a scar or keloid treatment, Dr. Payne will examine the scar to get an idea of its size and condition. For surgical approaches, a local anesthetic will be used to minimize feeling around the scar before it's removed. Thick or rough scars may be shaved down using a special tool for a more even appearance. Larger scars and keloids may be minimized with an elliptical incision, which removes the scar, as well as some of the surrounding skin tissues. In some cases, a scar or keloid can be removed using non-ablative laser treatments, which can help fade their appearance over time. Depending on your situation, a combination of treatments may be used to achieve better results. It is important to note that after surgical removal of many scars, additional visits may be required to receive intralesional cortisone injections to minimize the re-occurrence of the scar or laser.

Dr. Payne was amazing! She was very knowledgeable, informative, personable, and welcoming. I’m very much looking forward to my next visit to have my moles removed. She was more well versed in some of my skincare issues that other dermatologists had previously dismissed. I highly recommend her, and plan on referring all of my friends to her practice.
