Risks Of Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT)
Superficial radiation therapy (SRT) is one of the safest and most effective systems available for the treatment of keloids and other complex scar tissue after surgical removal and reconstruction. Dr. Kenrick Spence and Dr. Fernando Ovalle are expert plastic surgeons who can utilize the SRT-100+™ system for precision targeting of keloid scars. He is able to produce successful outcomes for patients who visit the International Keloid & Scar Treatment Center in Orlando.
There is a risk of keloids returning after treatment, however, this risk is reduced significantly when superficial radiation therapy is a viable treatment option. Dr. Spence provides access to a virtual or in-person consultation, allowing patients to discuss potential treatment plans including SRT in combination with follow-up treatments to prevent the recurrence of keloid scarring.
SRT involves low levels of radiation that are precisely directed to the scar site. If your scar or keloid is causing confidence issue then SRT may be the perfect solution for you. Please call the International Keloid & Scar Treatment Center to learn more about the risks and benefits of superficial radiation therapy. Dr. Spence and his team are always available to provide advice and guidance.
Traditional Treatments vs SRT
Traditionally, patients with keloids were advised that the risk of keloids returning outweighed any benefits of treatment. Dr. Kenrick Spence and Dr. Fernando Ovalle employ SRT technology to greatly improve success rates for patients receiving treatment to remove keloids. If there are any specific risks associated with a patient’s skin type or level of scarring, the doctor will provide recommendations based on the results of the consultation. Patients are kept informed throughout the process. This is so they may make informed decisions about traveling to the International Keloid & Scar Treatment Center for treatment.
