FACE KELOIDS

In a keloid disorder, the negative feedback loop that informs the body that it's time to stop the healing process doesn't function as it should and results in an uninhibited, excessive and prolonged wound healing response; as if the brakes on the wound healing process were malfunctioning. The result is an excessive and perpetual healing response and keloid formation. Now, if we operate on a keloid and cut it out surgically, the same abnormal wound healing mechanisms are triggered, leading to the formation of a new, yet much larger keloid. Cryotherapy, on the other hand, does not induce a cut in the skin. The underlying tissue remains intact and the wound healing response does not lead to keloid formation.
