Can facial peels/exfoliation have any effect on keloids?

Steroid injections: Keloids respond poorly to peels..One must apply pressure therapy or steroid injections to have an effect.

Keloids treatment: Light peels and exfoliation have no effect on scars. Scar tissue is deeper than exfoliation and most light peels go. Deeper peels may have some effect on scars, such as helping them blend in with the surrounding normal skin.
