The keloid treatment market is expected to reach USD 1.72 Billion by 2032 and is expected to increase at a CAGR of 3.3% during the forecast period 2023-2032. A keloid is a thickened scar that rises over the surrounding skin. It is usually pink or purple. Keloids are unevenly shaped scars that appear on the skin and grow in size over time.
The market for keloid treatment is expected to grow as a result of major innovations in skincare products' technology. As more people learn about the many options for curing keloids, the industry expands to accommodate them. The Keloid Treatment Market has expanded due to a number of factors, including the rising demand for skincare goods and services and the shift toward more health-conscious lifestyles. However, the business is being driven by patients' growing consciousness of their appearance, especially among women. As more people seek help for keloids, medical facilities are increasingly looking to cutting-edge therapy options.
In addition to technological progress and rising knowledge of the availability of aesthetic surgery, an increase in the frequency of road accidents and burn cases has been a major factor promoting the industry's adoption throughout the years. The rising rate of both car accidents and burns around the world is expected to fuel growth in the keloid treatment industry. It is anticipated that technical development will further increase the company's profit margin. Laser therapies are becoming increasingly popular for the treatment and removal of scars. In addition, numerous businesses have recently unveiled cutting-edge laser therapy scar solutions.
In January 2023, Sonoma Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a global leader in the development and production of stabilized hypochlorous acid (HOCl) products for a variety of applications, including dermatology, eye, oral, and nasal care, and wound care, announced the launch of a line of office dispense products designed specifically for skin care professionals. The medications are in prescription strength and include Regenacyn® Plus, Reliefacyn® Plus, and Rejuvacyn® Plus. Regenacyn Plus has been shown in clinical trials to reduce itching and pain associated with keloid and hypertrophic scars, as well as enhance the appearance, texture, and color of the scars itself.
Aesthetic professionals and patients can visualize injectable treatment results when planning through the use of FACE by Galderma™, a new aesthetic visualization tool based on augmented reality (AR), launched today by Galderma in March 2023. This will allow a patient to envision whether or not they want to go ahead with an injection. An individualized treatment plan might offer simulated real-time before and after photos, which would help allay anxiety about injectables. Thus, through FACE by Galderma, there can be an immersive interactive consultation between the provider and the patient. It is designed for aesthetic practitioners and evaluates skin quality, face shape, proportion, contouring symmetry, and facial expressions expressed through animations.
In February 2022, Merz Aesthetics announced its commercial release of Radiesse® (+) Lidocaine soft tissue filler for deep injection under the skin (subdermal) or above the periosteum (supraperiosteal) in adult patients aged over twenty-one years to correct moderate-to-severe loss of jawline volume. Radiesse Injectables constitute the very first and only calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) portfolio in America, whereas Radiesse (+) is currently the single FDA-approved injectable treatment for improving jawline contours. In September 2021, the Food and Drug Administration approved an additional Premarket Approval Application.

The prescription-strength formulations include Regenacyn® Plus, Reliefacyn ®Plus, and Rejuvacyn® Plus.
