Advanced Keloid Treatment & Prevention Program
Surgical Removal + Superficial Radiation Therapy
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
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.
Summary
SRT: 3 treatments, 20 minutes each

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.
