What is keloid treatment with radiotherapy?

Keloids are raised, often recurring scars that grow beyond the original wound. Surgery alone removes the keloid, but recurrence rates are high — which is why the gold-standard approach combines excision with targeted radiotherapy.

At IMC, board-certified radiation oncologist Dr. William Baquero removes the keloid and delivers a short course of low-dose radiation to the site within 24–48 hours, dramatically lowering the chance it returns. The same approach is used for ear, chest, shoulder, and surgical-scar keloids.

Frequently asked questions

Why add radiotherapy after keloid removal?

Surgery alone leaves keloids with a high recurrence rate. Adding a short, low-dose course of radiotherapy within 24–48 hours of excision interrupts the scar-forming cells and substantially reduces the chance the keloid returns. It is the evidence-based standard for difficult or recurring keloids.

How much does keloid treatment cost in Colombia?

Treatment starts from about $2,500, compared with $8,000–$15,000 in the United States — savings of up to 80%. Your exact quote depends on the size, number, and location of the keloids. IMC sends a free, personalized estimate within 24 hours.

Is the radiotherapy safe?

Yes. The dose used for keloids is low and highly targeted to the scar site, delivered by a board-certified radiation oncologist. It is a well-established, decades-old technique with an excellent safety profile.

How long do I need to stay in Barranquilla?

Most keloid cases require a short stay — typically a few days — to complete excision and the radiotherapy sessions. IMC arranges your full schedule and lodging so the trip is as short and simple as possible.
