A Smarter Approach to Keloid Treatment

Keloids rarely improve on their own. And removal alone often isn’t enough.

The Plastic Surgery Center now offers a dedicated Keloid Treatment & Prevention Program, combining precise surgical removal with immediate, in-office Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT), a powerful protocol shown to reduce recurrence rates to approximately 94% when delivered promptly after excision.

No hospital coordination.
No referral delays.
No fragmented care.

Just a streamlined, start-to-finish treatment plan designed to stop recurrence before it starts.

Don’t Wait to Get It Looked At

You Deserve More Than Another Temporary Fix

Coordinated Treatment in One Location
We perform excision and deliver SRT in-house, eliminating hospital scheduling delays that can compromise results.

Designed to Prevent Recurrence, Not Just Remove the Scar
Excision alone carries recurrence rates as high as 50–90%. Our combined protocol is built specifically to reduce that risk.

Time-Sensitive Treatment Control
Radiation must be delivered immediately after removal to interrupt abnormal scar formation. We control that timing.

We Accept Most Major Insurance Plans
Including Horizon BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, Medicare, and many others.

Regional Access in New Jersey
Now serving patients in Monmouth county, NJ, and surrounding counties with convenient in-state access.

Experienced Surgical Specialists
Specialized plastic surgeons experienced in complex and recurrent keloid management.

What to Expect: A Simple, 4-Step Process

Step 1: Your Consultation & Evaluation

We examine your keloid, review prior treatments, and determine if you are a candidate for excision combined with SRT. We’ll explain recurrence risks and outline your personalized treatment plan.

Step 2: Surgical Removal

Your keloid is carefully removed by a specialized plastic surgeon with meticulous attention to minimizing tension and optimizing healing.

Step 3: Immediate Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT)

Within 24 hours after surgery, SRT is delivered in-office to disrupt the abnormal scar-forming cells before they rebuild the keloid. This critical step is what significantly reduces recurrence risk.

Step 4: Guided Healing & Monitoring

We monitor your healing closely and assess for any early signs of recurrence. If adjustments are needed, your care team responds quickly, helping protect your long-term results.

This In-Office Procedure Is Ideal If You:

Have a raised scar that extends beyond the original injury
Experience itching, pain, tightness, or cosmetic distress
Had prior keloid removal and it came back
Were told “it may return” after surgery
Failed steroid injections or cryotherapy
Want the lowest possible recurrence risk

Excellent service! I felt very welcomed and comfortable with all the staff. Everyone was very pleasant. All my questions were answered and they followed up with me to make sure everything was healing properly. I had keloids removed from my neck and they are healing very nicely!

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes keloids different from regular scars?

Keloids grow beyond the boundaries of the original injury and continue to produce excess scar tissue. They may itch, throb, or feel tight.

Why do keloids come back after surgery?

Excision alone does not stop the overactive scar-forming cells. Without additional therapy, recurrence rates can be high.

How does Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT) help?

SRT interrupts the abnormal cellular activity that causes keloids to regrow. When delivered immediately after removal, it significantly reduces recurrence risk.

Is the radiation safe?

SRT is highly targeted and delivered at a superficial level, focusing on the treatment area while minimizing exposure to surrounding tissue.

Is this treatment covered by insurance?

Most major insurance plans cover medically necessary keloid treatment. Our team will verify your benefits.

How soon after surgery is radiation given?

Typically within a very short window following removal. Timing is critical for effectiveness, which is why having SRT in-house matters.

How long does the process take?

Surgery and SRT are coordinated to minimize disruption, with most patients returning home the same day.
