WHAT ARE KELOIDS?
Keloids are harmless growths of fibrous tissues at the site of a healing scar caused by overproduction of collagen. Keloids are most common on the breastbone, upper back, and shoulder but can occur anywhere on the body. Some people, especially those with dark skin, are more prone to developing keloids.

HOW DO I KNOW THAT I HAVE A KELOID?
Signs and symptoms include:
• Firm, raised, hard scars.
• Colour that varies from slightly pink to very dark.
• Tenderness or itching.
• Continued growth and claw-like projections.

DO KELOIDS DISAPPEAR WITHOUT TREATMENT?
Keloids may continue to grow slowly for weeks, months or years. They eventually stop growing but do not disappear on their own. Once a keloid develops, it is permanent unless removed or treated successfully.

HOW DOES LASER GENESIS TREAT KELOIDS?
Laser Genesis helps in reducing the size and redness of keloids. Minimum of 6 treatments are required for optimum results.

IS LASER GENESIS PAINFUL?
No, Laser Genesis is a comfortable, non-invasive treatment. You will experience a gentle warming of your skin’s surface during the procedure. We have had some people compare it to the feeling of the sun heating the skin.

HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT TAKE?
The treatment usually takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area being treated.
