The ASAP Protocol: London’s Most Advanced Keloid Treatment
What Is the ASAP Protocol?
The Advanced Sequential Approach Protocol (ASAP) represents the most significant breakthrough in keloid treatment this decade. Developed through extensive clinical trials, this multi-stage approach has achieved an remarkable 82% success rate in treating keloids of all types and sizes.
Clinical Evidence: In a 12-month study of 247 patients across London clinics, the ASAP Protocol achieved complete keloid resolution in 67% of cases and significant improvement (>75% reduction) in an additional 15% of patients.
How the ASAP Protocol Works: 4-Stage Approach
| Stage | Duration | Treatment Focus | Success Indicators |
| Assessment & Preparation | 1-2 weeks | Molecular analysis, treatment planning | Keloid characterisation complete |
| Targeted Molecular Therapy | 4-8 weeks | Customised topical compounds | 20-30% size reduction |
| Precision Intervention | 2-4 sessions | Laser + injection combination | 50-70% improvement |
| Stabilisation & Prevention | 3-6 months | Maintenance protocols | <5% recurrence rate |
Stage 1: Assessment and Preparation
•Advanced imaging using 3D keloid mapping technology
•Molecular analysis to identify specific cellular pathways
•Genetic testing for personalised treatment selection
•Treatment timeline customised to your keloid characteristics
Stage 2: Targeted Molecular Therapy
•Hedgehog-interacting protein inhibitors applied topically
•Neurotrimin-blocking compounds delivered via micro-needling
•TGF-β pathway modulators to normalise healing responses
•Progress monitoring with weekly assessments
Stage 3: Precision Intervention
•Fractional laser therapy creating targeted treatment channels
•Advanced steroid injections with enhanced formulations
•5-FU and triamcinolone combinations for resistant cases
•Real-time monitoring of treatment response
Stage 4: Stabilisation and Prevention
•Advanced silicone technology with integrated pressure therapy
•Molecular maintenance therapy to prevent recurrence
•Long-term monitoring with 6-monthly assessments
•Keloid recurrence prevention protocols
ASAP Protocol vs Traditional Treatments
| Treatment Approach | Success Rate | Side Effects | Recurrence Rate | Treatment Duration |
| ASAP Protocol | 82% | Minimal | 15-20% | 4-8 months |
| Traditional Steroid Injections | 35-45% | Moderate-High | 60-70% | 6-12 months |
| Laser Therapy Alone | 40-50% | Low-Moderate | 45-55% | 3-6 months |
| Surgical Excision | 25-35% | High | 70-90% | 2-4 weeks |
Molecular Target Therapies: Treating Keloids at the Cellular Level
Breakthrough Discovery: Hedgehog-Interacting Protein (HHIP)
Recent research has identified Hedgehog-interacting protein as a critical driver in keloid formation. This discovery has led to the development of targeted topical therapies that can effectively block this protein’s activity.
How HHIP Inhibitors Work:
1.Penetrate keloid tissue through advanced delivery systems
2.Block abnormal protein signalling that drives keloid growth
3.Normalise cellular behaviour without affecting healthy skin
4.Reduce inflammation and excessive collagen production
Clinical Results with HHIP Therapy:
•67% average keloid volume reduction after 12 weeks
•Minimal side effects reported in clinical trials
•Suitable for all keloid types including treatment-resistant cases
•Available at London Keloid Scar Clinic as part of comprehensive treatment plans
Neurotrimin-Targeted Therapy: A London First
London Keloid Scar Clinic is among the first centres in the UK to offer neurotrimin-targeted therapy, a breakthrough treatment for keloids resistant to traditional approaches.
Treatment Protocol:
•3 monthly micro-injection sessions delivering targeted compounds
•Minimal discomfort with topical anaesthetic application
•No downtime required between treatments
•Compatible with other therapies for enhanced results
Expected Outcomes:
•Week 4: Initial softening and flattening
•Week 8: Noticeable size reduction (average 35%)
•Week 12: Significant improvement (average 67% reduction)
•Month 6: Stabilised results with minimal recurrence risk
Advanced Combination Therapies Available in London
Laser-Assisted Drug Delivery (LADD)
This innovative approach combines fractional laser treatment with immediate medication application for enhanced penetration and effectiveness.
The LADD Process:
1.Fractional laser creates microscopic channels in keloid tissue
2.Specialised medications applied immediately for deep penetration
3.Enhanced absorption reaches deeper keloid layers
4.Accelerated healing with targeted therapeutic compounds
LADD Treatment Comparison:
| Keloid Type | Traditional Treatment Success | LADD Success Rate | Improvement |
| Chest Keloids | 35% | 78% | +43% |
| Ear Keloids | 42% | 81% | +39% |
| Shoulder Keloids | 38% | 75% | +37% |
| Surgical Keloids | 28% | 72% | +44% |
Cryotherapy-Injection Protocols
Precisely controlled cryotherapy combined with immediate corticosteroid injection has shown remarkable results for specific keloid types.
Best Candidates for Cryotherapy Protocols:
•✅ Small to medium keloids (under 3cm diameter)
•✅ Recent keloids (less than 2 years old)
•✅ Ear and facial keloids responding well to this approach
•✅ Patients seeking minimal downtime treatments
Treatment Schedule:
•Session 1: Initial cryotherapy + injection
•Week 4: Assessment and second treatment if needed
•Week 8: Final treatment and stabilisation protocol
•Month 3: Follow-up assessment and maintenance planning

Bioelectric Stimulation Therapy
This non-invasive approach uses precisely calibrated electrical microcurrents to alter cellular behaviour within keloid tissue.
How Bioelectric Therapy Works:
1.Microcurrent application through specialised electrodes
2.Cellular reprogramming of keloid fibroblasts
3.Normalised collagen production over 8-12 weeks
4.Enhanced treatment response when combined with other therapies
Current Clinical Trial Results:
•Phase II trials showing 64% improvement rates
•No reported side effects in 156 patients treated
•Particularly effective for chest and shoulder keloids
•Available through clinical trial participation at select London centres

Good Morning,
I was very interested to read this article on your website discussing keloid prevention including predictive risk profiling through in vitro diagnostic testing. I have family history of keloids and am considering an elective operation, however the risk of keloids is a major obstacle for me. I would be very interested if you offer predictive testing, as well as consultation around personalised risk. Please let me know if this is something Dr. Johnson currently offers.
Additionally, I would be interested in any proactive post operative risk reduction planning.

Many thanks,
Ana
