Abstract

The objective of the study was to evaluate the 980-nm diode laser in conjunction with corticosteroids in the treatment of ear lobule keloids. Several methods have been described for the treatment of keloid scars, but none of them have been 100% successful. Advances in laser techniques have enabled surgeons to define the most appropriate lasers for use in the treatment of different scar types. The diode laser pulses are delivered interstitially in a single repeated mode in non-overlapping sites using a bare optical fiber, followed by intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injection. The number of sessions varies between two to five for the management of more than 75% of keloid size, with a total success rate of 75% and no recurrence in the follow-up of 12 months. The technique used proved to be effective in the treatment of ear lobule keloids.
