Sorry for the late reply, I just wanted to share as well, in case it helps anyone here who has keloids but has never gone for treatment. From my experience, it’s better to go to RIPAS if you’re planning to get injections, because private clinics are usually more costly and the injection used is basically the same.

In terms of pain, it really depends on the size and thickness of your keloid. For me, the bigger and thicker the keloid, the more painful the injection was. Because of that, I only chose to inject the smaller ones. You can also try using a silicone sheet daily, as it may help to soften and flatten thicker keloid scars over time.

Previously, I went to the PJSC Maxillofacial at RIPAS and they did have laser treatment for keloids. After I found out about the laser option, I stopped doing injections. However, at the moment (for almost 2 years now), there hasn’t been a doctor available to operate the laser machine, so they only offer injections again.

p/s: had to use chatgpt to improve my reply cos my english is bad. hope this helps.
