The Freeze-Injection Method of Hypertrophic Scar and Keloid Reduction

Abstract

Hypertrophic scars and keloids continue to plague the head and neck surgeon as an unpredictable consequence of trauma or incision. The myriad suggested methods of revising such lesions indicate that no one method is foolproof. The application of conventional cryotherapy to the lesion, followed by the dilute intralesional Iriamcinalone injection, offers several advantages over other methods.
