There are 11 million people suffer from keloids. A keloids is a growth of extra scar tissue where the skin has healed after an injury. Keloids expand in claw-like growths over normal skin. They have the capability to hurt with a needle-like pain or to itch without warning, although the degree of sensation varies from person to person.

Keloids are difficult to treat and often we are able to do 2-6 sessions of kenalog injections, w steroid, that reduces inflammation and growth of the keloid and slowly shrinking it. However, if this method is not sufficient due to very enlarged keloids, the only method to “cure” your self and improve the appearance is to excise the keloid and then undergo superficial radiation therapy (SRT) which can achieve cure rates of up to 90%.

Sensus Healthcare’s SRT-100 is a state-of-the-art and effective solution to treat keloids. Numerous clinical publications have demonstrated that combing SRT with surgery is the most effective and successful way to to treat and rid your keloids. Keloids don’t have to be a chronic disease anymore.
