Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Keloids are raised, thickened areas of scar tissue that grow beyond the boundaries of the original wound. They form when the body produces excess collagen during the healing process. Keloids can result from surgery, piercings, acne, burns, or any skin injury. Some people are genetically predisposed to developing keloids.
Yes. Colombia is one of the top medical tourism destinations in Latin America, with modern facilities and internationally trained physicians. Barranquilla has excellent hospitals that meet international standards. Our clinic coordinates all aspects of your medical travel, including airport transfers, accommodation recommendations, and translator services if needed.
Most keloid treatments require a stay of 3-5 days in Barranquilla. This allows time for your initial consultation, the procedure, and a follow-up visit before returning home. For simpler procedures like injections, a 2-3 day trip may suffice. Dr. Vaquero will advise you on the optimal timeline during your virtual consultation.
Recovery varies by treatment type. Corticosteroid injections have minimal downtime (same day). Cryotherapy and laser treatments may cause mild swelling for a few days. Surgical excision typically requires 1-2 weeks of limited activity. You can fly home within 2-3 days of most procedures. Follow-up care is managed remotely via video calls.
Keloid recurrence rates depend on the treatment method and aftercare. Surgical excision alone has a higher recurrence rate (up to 50%), but Dr. Vaquero uses combined approaches (surgery + steroid injections + pressure therapy) that reduce recurrence to 10-20%. Following post-treatment protocols is critical for preventing regrowth.
We do not bill insurance directly. However, our pricing is significantly lower than US out-of-pocket costs. Many patients find that even including flight and hotel, the total cost is less than treatment in the US. We provide detailed receipts that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.
Simply fill out the consultation form above or send us a WhatsApp message. Include photos of your keloid for an initial assessment. Dr. Vaquero's team will review your case and schedule a free video consultation to discuss your treatment options and answer all your questions.
