Steroid therapy – treatment of hypertrophic scars and keloids

Hypertrophic scars and keloids are abnormal forms of skin healing that often cause discomfort, pain, itching, and can also affect appearance. An effective treatment for these lesions is topical steroid therapy, which involves directly injecting the medication into the scar.

What does the steroid therapy involve?

At Medistica, we use steroid therapy with a specialised formula – triamcinolone acetonide – or a mixture containing 5-fluorouracil, triamcinolone acetonide and botulinum toxin. The procedure is performed on an ambulatory basis and takes just a few minutes.

Steroid therapy has anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative effects, which allows for:

  • reduction in the size and prominence of the scar,
  • relief from pain and itching,
  • prevention of further growth of the scar,
  • improvement in the structure and appearance of the skin.

To achieve the optimal results, the treatment is repeated every few weeks, depending on the individual’s reaction and the extent of the condition.
