Intra Lesional Botulinum Toxin Treatment for Keloids

Keloids are thick, raised scars caused by excessive collagen production during the skin’s healing process. Unlike typical scars, keloids can grow larger than the original wound and may be painful, itchy, or uncomfortable. While various treatments exist, Botulinum Toxin has emerged as an innovative approach to reducing keloid size and symptoms.

Botulinum Toxin, widely known for its cosmetic applications, can also be used to manage keloids. When injected directly into the scar, Botulinum Toxin reduces muscle tension around the keloid, which helps lower the mechanical forces that contribute to collagen overproduction. This inhibition of excessive collagen synthesis helps flatten the scar and ease symptoms like itching or pain.
