The Founding Location
Keloid Care Where This Practice Began
A keloid is scar tissue that never got the message to stop. After a piercing, cut, burn, acne breakout, tattoo, or incision heals, the skin keeps building collagen and the scar grows past the original wound, most often on the earlobe, chest, shoulders, upper back, or jawline. The tendency runs in families and appears more often on darker skin tones, and around 11 million people carry one.
Tampa is the founding location of the practice Dr. Tali Arviv, MD, established in 2014, and it is where our keloid work runs deepest. All three treatments operate under one Westchase roof, including the SRT-100 device, so escalating never means leaving the building. Because no two keloids present alike, nothing goes on the schedule until a clinician has examined yours in person, the same first step we take for earlobe repair and mole removal visits alike.
Why Westchase
What Sets Tampa Keloid Care Apart
Every keloid we treat gets the same three things: a clinical assessment, a full set of options, and a straight answer about the odds of it coming back.
Assessed Before Anything Else
No keloid plan here is written sight unseen. A clinician examines the size of the scar, where it sits, and what has already been tried on it, because those three facts choose the starting treatment.
Three Treatments, One Roof
Kenalog injections, surgical excision, and SRT-100 superficial radiation all run at this Westchase office, so stepping up a treatment never means starting over somewhere new.
Straight About Recurrence
Keloids are known for returning after one-method treatment. We are upfront about that during your consult and build combination plans aimed at keeping the collagen from rebuilding.
If Westchase is a long drive, keloid removal follows the same staged approach at our Miami office, and the Ocala minor procedures menu carries the same five in-office treatments.
What to Expect
How We Treat a Keloid in Tampa
Four steps, and the scar itself sets the pace at every one of them.
Seen In Person
Your consult starts with the scar, not the schedule. We measure it, note where it sits, and ask what has already been done to it.
Injections First
Kenalog injections flatten and soften most smaller or newer keloids, delivered as a short series of quick office visits with a reassessment after.
Excision and SRT
Larger keloids, or ones that have come back before, move to surgical excision, often paired with SRT-100 superficial radiation, painless sessions with a cure rate above 90 percent for treated keloids.
Watching It Heal
We book follow-up visits to watch the site as it heals, because catching regrowth early keeps the next fix small.
A Ladder, Not a Procedure
Am I the Right Candidate?
Keloids grow past the edge of the wound that started them and behave unlike an ordinary raised scar. Treatment here is a ladder with several rungs, including the SRT-100.
Where the Ladder Helps
- A scar has spread beyond the piercing or injury that began it.
- You have had one treated before, watched it return, and want a plan that expects that rather than one that hopes.
- Starting on the least aggressive rung that could work suits you better than opening with a scalpel.
- Having the whole ladder under one roof beats being referred elsewhere partway through.
Said Without Softening
- Keloids recur. Anybody telling you otherwise is overselling, and your plan gets written with that in view.
- Excision alone can provoke regrowth, which is exactly why it sits high on the ladder instead of at the bottom.
- Skin type, family history, and where on the body the scar sits all shape how it is likely to behave.
- An SRT-100 course in particular runs across visits, so treatment here is measured in appointments rather than one.
Your consult identifies which kind of scar you have and which rung to start on, and the cost of that specific plan gets walked through once someone has seen it. Book a consult at the Westchase office.

In Their Words
What Arviv Guests Say About Minor Procedures
Scar removal sits among the ten topics guests name across all 760 reviews of this address, though no review of our Tampa office names a keloid specifically. A guest at another of our Florida offices describes one taken off an ear. What guests here write about is how they were looked after, which is the part of a scar plan you can judge in advance. 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.”
“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!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you remove a keloid caused by an ear piercing?
Yes, and piercings are the trigger we hear about most. The earlobe is one of the most common keloid sites, a pattern the AAD overview lays out clearly. An ear keloid climbs the same staged plan as any other, from injections up to excision only if the scar demands it.
What is SRT-100 superficial radiation?
The SRT-100 is a low-energy radiation device from Sensus Healthcare that stops the collagen overgrowth from rebuilding after a keloid is treated. Sessions are painless and need no numbing, and it is usually the step that follows excision when a scar has already returned once.
What does keloid removal cost in Tampa?
It depends on the plan your assessment produces. A short course of injections is a different plan from excision followed by radiation, so we walk through the cost at your consult, once we can see the scar, and flexible financing can spread a larger plan out if that helps.
How many visits will keloid treatment take?
Injections usually run as a short series with a reassessment after. Excision is one visit plus follow-up, and SRT-100 adds a set of painless sessions afterward. We map the visit count with you at the consult, before you commit to anything.
