Where This Category Started
Keloid Treatment Built This Menu
Minor procedures are the in-office treatments that need a physician rather than a technician: keloid removal, skin tag removal, mole and wart removal, vein treatments, and earlobe repair. Keloid treatment is what started this category for us, and it still brings the most people through our door.
About 11 million people carry keloids, and one method is rarely enough on its own. That is why Dr. Tali Arviv, MD, plans yours in stages instead of treating it once and hoping. If you are still working out what you have, the AAD overview is a fair primer to read first.
A Ladder, Not a Single Fix
Keloids come back when they are treated one way and left alone. Carrying three options means we can escalate rather than repeat something your scar has already shrugged off.
Planned Under an MD
Dr. Arviv plans and supervises every removal here, which is what lets this location carry excisions and superficial radiation instead of referring them out.
No Outside Referral
Keloids, skin tags, moles, warts, veins, and torn lobes are handled in our Westchase treatment rooms, so nothing waits on a second office to call you back.
A Quick Decision Aid
Injection, Excision, or Radiation?
Many guests come to us after a keloid has returned. Offering all three treatments means we can choose the one your scar calls for, and combine them when that gives you the better result. Superficial radiation with the SRT-100 is painless, and it carries a cure rate above 90 percent for treated keloids.
| Feature | Kenalog Injection | Surgical Excision | SRT-100 Radiation |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it does | Flattens and softens the scar tissue in place | Removes the keloid outright | Stops the collagen overgrowth from rebuilding |
| Best suited to | Smaller or newer keloids | Larger keloids, and lobes distorted by one | Keloids that came back after injection or surgery |
| What it feels like | A series of quick in-office injections | A short procedure with local numbing | Painless sessions, no numbing needed |
| Usually paired with | Repeat visits, then reassessment | Injection or radiation afterward to hold the result | Excision, as the step that keeps it gone |
The right treatment depends on the size of your keloid, where it sits, and how it has been treated before. We settle on the approach together at your consultation, once we can see the scar. If yours grew out of old acne or a piercing, our skin rejuvenation page covers related ground worth reading first.

What Tampa Guests Say

Wart removal does appear in what guests at this location write. The rest of the record speaks to the team rather than to a specific procedure, which on a page of small procedures is the part that decides how the appointment goes. Read more reviews from guests across all three Florida locations.
“The team at Arviv have been exceptional over the years. Very professional staff and clean office. Marla is highly qualified ARNP who I have a great deal of trust in. Very friendly, welcoming front office staff who are helpful as well! Convenient location and VIP service.”
“Great experience! Onna and Diana were great to work with and would highly recommend!”
“Diana is extremely detailed oriented and professional which is essential in her role. She also knows how to perform treatment in a manner that is reduces any agitation associated with last removal. She keeps people at ease. I specifically request Diana for any service”
Individual results vary. Reviews describe one guest’s experience and are not a promise of outcome.
The Tampa Directory
Explore Tampa Minor Procedures
Five procedures run at our Westchase location, and each one has a page of its own that tells you whether you are a candidate. For the longer version, our minor procedures guide walks the ladder from injection to excision to radiation. And if it is veins rather than a scar that brought you here, a dermatologic surgery society explains how sclerotherapy injections close one.
Guests who have had a keloid excised often follow it with skin rejuvenation to soften the skin around the site. Tell us if you scar this way before you book tattoo removal, because the technique changes for keloid-prone skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are keloids, and how are they treated in Tampa?
A keloid is a raised scar that keeps growing past the wound that started it, driven by an overproduction of collagen. We treat them in our Westchase office, and the table above lays out the three options we work from. Which one you start on depends on the size of the scar and what it has already been through.
How much does keloid removal cost?
Keloid removal prices depend on your plan, because no two keloids present the same way. One person needs a short course of injections, another needs excision followed by radiation. We build the plan at your consult and go through the cost then, rather than posting a number that will not match your scar.
Do keloids come back after treatment?
Recurrence is common when a keloid is treated with a single method, which is exactly why we run a ladder instead of one fix. Superficial radiation therapy carries a cure rate above 90 percent for treated keloids, and it is usually the step that follows excision when a scar has already returned once.
Do I need a referral for these procedures in Tampa?
No. All five run in our own treatment rooms under physician supervision, so there is no separate surgeon referral to arrange and no second office to wait on. You book the consult, we look at what you have, and we plan it from there.
Which Tampa location handles these procedures?
Our Westchase office at 11329 Countryway Blvd, and the Tampa Spa Suites sit inside the same practice rather than as a separate address. Book a Consult online or call or text (813) 855-0111, and check all three locations if Miami or Ocala is closer.
