A More Advanced, Evidence-Based Approach

We combine expert surgical removal with Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT) using the SRT-100 system.

Superficial Radiation Therapy is:

  • A targeted, low-dose radiation delivered directly to the scar site
  • Initiated immediately after removal (timing is critical to success)
  • Quick, painless, and performed in-office
  • Designed to treat surface tissue only
  • Does NOT penetrate deeply or affect internal organs
By interrupting the abnormal scar-forming process early, SRT helps prevent keloids from returning.

Why Keloids Keep Coming Back

Keloids are raised scars that grow beyond the original wound and often return after surgery alone.

Patients frequently experience:

  • Pain

  • Persistent itching

  • Tightness or restricted movement

  • Cosmetic distress

  • Recurrence after prior removal

Traditional removal can result in recurrence rates as high as 50–90% without additional therapy.

Our program is designed to significantly reduce the risk of recurrence.

Surgeon-meeting-with-patient

Consultation

The Plastic Surgery Center offers gender-affirming hair procedure consultations at all of our locations. During the consultation, your surgeon will thoroughly evaluate your medical history, hair, and ongoing transition goals. They will use this information to determine whether you’re a good candidate for a gender-affirming hair procedure.

Questions
about this procedure?

What to Expect

  1. Consultation and evaluation

  2. Surgical removal of the keloid

  3. Three short SRT treatments over consecutive days

  4. Each radiation session lasts approximately 10–15 minutes

  5. No sedation required

  6. Resume normal activities immediately

  7. Side effects are minimal and may include temporary redness similar to a mild sunburn.

What Makes Our Program Different

  • Surgical removal performed by reconstructive surgeons experienced in scar biology and tension-free closure

  • Immediate post-operative SRT protocol (same day or next day)

  • Multidisciplinary coordination between surgery and radiation therapy

  • Evidence-based pathway rather than steroid injections alone

  • Designed for recurrent, large, or previously failed keloids

    We provide both removal and prevention in one coordinated program.

Physician Referrals

We welcome referrals from dermatology, primary care, ENT, OB/GYN, and urgent care providers.

Our team manages both the surgical removal and radiation prevention protocol — no separate radiation referral required.
