Description | Keloids are a type of scar tissue. After an injury to the skin, the fibrous tissue which are also known as scar tissue grows over the wound to protect the underlying structures and to repair the wound.

The common sites where keloids form are the shoulders, chest area, cheeks and the earlobes. It is not confined to these areas and can be formed on any part of the skin. | Keloids are a type of scar tissue.

“I had been noticing a volume loss in my face for a few years. It was slowly getting worse. After a consult at Nexus, we decided that a PRP treatment combined with fillers would be the best choice. And, what a great decision! The PRP made that area look amazing. They took their time and literally sculpted my face. The results are awesome!“
