Keloid Removal · Midtown Miami
Keloid Removal in Miami
Keloid treatment at our Midtown Miami office is planned and supervised by a physician-led team, moving from injection to excision to radiation only as far as your keloid needs.
Treated Here, Not Referred Out
A Keloid Treated In-Office, Not Referred Out
A keloid is a raised scar that keeps growing past the edges of the wound that started it, most often on the ear, chest, upper back, jawline, or shoulder. It comes from an overproduction of collagen after an injury, burn, acne breakout, tattoo, piercing, or surgery, and the tendency runs in families, with higher risk for Black, Asian, Latin American, and Mediterranean skin tones. An estimated 11 million people live with one, so yours is not unusual, and it is treatable, often alongside microneedling for the surrounding skin texture once the keloid itself is under control.
Keloid concerns come up often enough at this location that they are a named topic in our Miami guests' own reviews, and this office is staffed for them. Three of our seven Miami providers are advanced-practice clinicians working under Dr. Tali Arviv, MD, which is why a keloid, a torn lobe needing earlobe repair, or a growth headed for mole removal can all be handled in this office instead of starting with a surgeon referral.
The Keloid Difference
Why Guests Choose This Office for Keloid Care
Most keloid pages list treatments with a price tag on each. Ours is built the way the treatment actually works: as a ladder, climbed only as far as your scar requires.
A Treatment Ladder, Not One Fix
Kenalog injections, surgical excision, and SRT-100 superficial radiation are all available here, planned and combined to match how your keloid has responded before.
Credentialed Providers, Physician-Led
Your plan is set under physician oversight and carried out by a credentialed advanced-practice provider, the same standard Miami guests name most often in their own reviews.
No Surgeon Referral to Arrange
Keloid care that would mean a separate surgical referral elsewhere happens in this office. On the rare occasion a keloid needs more than we offer, our surgical partner is one call away.
Not sure a keloid is what you have? Our minor procedures guide walks through how the five in-office procedures differ, and the consult sorts it out for certain.
What to Expect
How Keloid Treatment Works Here
You do not have to guess which treatment is right. The ladder is built with you at consult, and each rung is used only when the one below it is not enough.
Consult and Evaluation
We look at your keloid, its size, its location, and its history, including any treatment it has already been through, and build a plan matched to how it has behaved.
Start Low on the Ladder
Most plans begin with a Kenalog injection to flatten and soften the scar, often the first and sometimes the only step needed.
Escalate Only If Needed
If injections alone do not hold, surgical excision and SRT-100 superficial radiation are the next steps, sometimes combined within one plan.
Aftercare and Follow-Up
We schedule follow-up to watch the site and adjust the plan, since a keloid can behave differently after each stage of treatment.
Scar Type Matters
Am I the Right Candidate?
Keloids grow beyond the original wound and behave differently from an ordinary raised scar, so treatment is a ladder rather than one procedure. Your scar and history set the starting rung.
Who This Is For
- You have a raised scar that has grown past the boundary of the original injury.
- You have had a keloid treated before and it returned, and you want a plan that accounts for that.
- You want to begin with the least aggressive option that could work rather than cutting first.
- You would rather be treated here than arrange a referral elsewhere.
Honest Expectations
- Keloids recur, and any provider who tells you otherwise is overselling. Your plan is built with recurrence in mind.
- Surgical excision on its own can trigger regrowth, which is why it sits high on the ladder rather than at the start.
- Your skin type, your family history, and where the scar sits all affect how it is likely to respond.
- Treatment usually runs across several visits rather than finishing in one.
Your consult identifies what kind of scar you have and where on the ladder to start. Book a consult, or see the other minor procedures handled in office.

In Their Words
What Miami Guests Say About Minor Procedures
Keloid work does appear in what guests at this office write, including a keloid treated on the ear. Beyond that, what the record carries is the practice as a whole rather than the procedure, and a keloid plan is decided at the consult in any case, because how your skin scarred last time is the input that matters. Read more reviews from guests across all three Florida locations.
“I had an excellent experience with Dr. Martin for the removal of a keloid on my ear. … My ear looks significantly better, and the improvement in both appearance and comfort has been amazing.”
“Amazing experience super quick and talented golden!”
“I went in for the blue vein under my eyes. We did the YAG laser. Sasha was patient, thorough and managed my expectations. She made me feel very comfortable and talked me through the process.”
Individual results vary. Reviews describe one guest’s experience and are not a promise of outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are keloids, and why do they form?
Keloids are raised scars that grow beyond the size of the original wound, caused by an overproduction of collagen after an injury, burn, acne breakout, tattoo, piercing, or surgery. Family history and darker skin tones raise the risk, and they most often appear on the ear or earlobe, chest, upper back, jawline, or shoulder.
Do I need a surgeon referral before keloid treatment?
No. Your treatment is planned and supervised here under physician oversight, so there is no separate referral to arrange for most keloids. The AAD overview is a fair picture of why a keloid calls for medical judgment rather than a purely cosmetic fix.
What does keloid removal cost in Miami?
It depends on your plan. Some keloids respond to a single Kenalog injection, while others need excision, superficial radiation, or a combination. We go through it at your consult, once we can see what we are working with, and flexible financing is available if your plan calls for it.
Why did my keloid come back after a previous treatment?
Keloids can recur after a single treatment, which is why we build a ladder rather than stopping after one step. If an injection alone did not hold, excision and SRT-100 radiation are the next options, matched to how your keloid has already responded, and CO2 laser resurfacing can follow afterward to refine the surrounding scar texture once healing is complete.
