Advanced Keloid Removal with SRT-100™ at HK Dermatology
If you are struggling with large, uncomfortable, or stubborn keloids, traditional removal methods often fall short. Dr. Klein and the expert team at HK Dermatology offer an advanced, highly effective solution using Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT).
By combining a painless, in-office surgical excision with the revolutionary SRT-100™ system, we can safely eliminate your keloid and prevent it from ever coming back.
Why Choose SRT for Keloid Treatment?
Traditional keloid removal simply cuts the scar tissue away. However, without additional treatment, keloids have a notoriously high rate of returning—often growing back even larger.
- Destroys Keloid Cells: SRT delivers low-energy, targeted X-ray technology that stops the rapidly dividing cells responsible for forming keloids.
- Unmatched Success Rate: While surgical removal alone often fails, adding SRT reduces the risk of regrowth to less than a 10% recurrence rate.
- FDA-Approved & Safe: The SRT-100™ is fully cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat scarring caused by injuries, piercings, or surgeries.
Our Seamless, In-Office Treatment Process
We complete your entire treatment right here in our comfortable, state-of-the-art office.
- Painless Surgical Excision: First, a highly trained provider at HK Dermatology carefully and painlessly removes the existing keloid scar tissue.
- Targeted SRT Sessions: Over the next 1 to 3 days, you will receive a series of quick, painless SRT treatments.
- Quick & Easy: Each SRT radiation session lasts only 30 to 60 seconds, allowing you to get right back to your day.
Is This Treatment Right for You?
SRT is highly specialized and designed to target specific types of problematic scarring.
Ideal Candidates for SRT
- Individual prominent scars
- Earlobe keloids (frequently caused by piercings)
- Large, persistent keloids
This specific protocol is not designed for treating multiple acne scars.
Our Alternative: Tumescent Kenalog Injections
If you have multiple acne scars or other scars that are not eligible for SRT, you are not out of options. These profiles often respond exceptionally well to our innovative Tumescent Kenalog (TLE+K) Injections.
- How it works: We use a specialized localized solution (tumescent lidocaine and epinephrine) to numb the area, constrict local blood vessels, and safely deliver precisely targeted, smaller doses of Kenalog.
- The results: This advanced technique keeps the treatment highly localized, increases potency, and breaks down difficult scar tissue evenly to optimize skin smoothing without systemic side effects.
Take Control of Your Skin Today

A Note on Insurance & Billing: While keloids are a true medical condition, many insurance providers categorize advanced scar revision and SRT as cosmetic, making coverage difficult to secure. To ensure the highest standard of uninterrupted care, HK Dermatology offers this combined protocol as a convenient cash-pay procedure. We are happy to provide transparent, upfront pricing during your initial consultation
