Burns / Scars / Keloids
Soften thick raised scars, flatten keloids, relieve itching, and restore skin flexibility.
Concerns are simply starting points for conversation. This page is designed to inform, not to diagnose. Every individual presentation is unique.
Understanding Raised Scars, Keloids & Tissue Softening.
Raised scars (hypertrophic scars) and keloids happen when the body’s healing process goes into overdrive after a cut, burn, piercing, or acne cyst. Instead of laying down a normal flat layer of collagen, the skin produces too much thick, tangled collagen. While hypertrophic scars stay within the original wound area, keloids continue to grow larger, forming firm, raised, and often itchy or tender nodules.
Surgical cutting alone often causes keloids to return even larger. At 22 Luna, we use a doctor-led non-surgical combination approach: gentle scar-softening micro-injections, RF microneedling, laser smoothing, and natural growth factors to flatten raised bumps, stop itching, and blend the scar smoothly with your natural skin.
Keloids occur in up to 15% of individuals with genetic susceptibility, especially on the chest, shoulders, jawline, and earlobes.
Signs you may notice.
What people often experience when navigating this concern.
Possible causes.
Concerns typically stem from a combination of internal and external factors.
Genetic Healing Tendency
Some people naturally inherit cells that produce excessive collagen during wound repair.
Deep Skin Injury & High Tension
Burns, surgical incisions, ear piercings, or deep acne cysts heal under high mechanical skin tension.
Prolonged Inflammation During Healing
Infections or slow-healing wounds keep collagen-producing cells active for too long.
Extra Blood Vessels in the Scar
Active micro-vessels inside the scar continue feeding growth and causing redness and itching.
When should you seek advice?
Consultation is not about emergency; it is about replacing guesswork with an unhurried medical perspective.
Possible treatment options.
These procedures represent clinical pathways often recommended for this concern. During your consultation, we evaluate which single option or combined protocol is most appropriate for your skin biology.
Micro-Needling / Advanced RF
Radiofrequency micro-pins break down stiff, tangled collagen bundles and stimulate softer, flatter skin remodeling.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Natural growth factors help rebalance collagen production and promote healthy, organized tissue repair.
Skin Resurfacing
Fractional laser remodeling to smooth raised borders and blend scar color with your natural skin.
Mesotherapy
Targeted micro-injections of medical scar-softening and anti-inflammatory formulations directly into the raised scar.
Prevention & daily care.
Simple, effective habits that support barrier resilience and maintain clinical progress.
Avoid elective piercings, tattoos, or unessential cosmetic cuts if you or your family are prone to keloids
Use medical-grade silicone gel sheets on fresh wounds for 3 to 6 months to keep scars flat as they heal
Protect healing wounds from all direct sunlight with clothing and SPF 50+ to avoid dark staining
Gently massage healing cuts with hydrating ointments to reduce stiff tissue tension
Frequently Asked Questions
Direct, transparent answers regarding burns / scars / keloids.
Can keloids be flattened without surgery?
Yes! Non-surgical combination therapy (softening micro-injections, RF microneedling, and laser smoothing) is actually much safer than surgery, flattening keloids while preventing them from growing back.
How many sessions does it take to flatten a thick scar?
Will the scar disappear completely?
Flatten and soften stubborn scars.
