117 Combined therapeutic strategies for keloid treatment

Recent advances in keloid management favor the administration of combination therapy over monotherapy. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of combination therapy to treat keloids using fractional lasers, superficial cryotherapy, and intralesional triamcinolone injections. We performed a retrospective observational study involving 35 Koreans with keloids. Each patient underwent treatment using the 1550 nm non-ablative fractional erbium-glass laser, followed by the 10,600 nm ablative fractional carbon dioxide laser.
