About Acne Injection
What it is
Acne injections, also known as corticosteroid injections or intralesional injections, are a specialized treatment offered at our Medspa to address stubborn and inflamed acne lesions. This targeted approach involves the injection of a corticosteroid solution directly into individual acne cysts or nodules. By delivering the medication directly into the problematic areas, acne injections help reduce inflammation, promote healing, and rapidly diminish the appearance of stubborn acne blemishes.
How it works
When you receive an acne injection at our Medspa, our skilled practitioners will carefully assess your acne condition and determine the most suitable areas for treatment. A fine needle is used to administer the corticosteroid solution directly into the acne cyst or nodule. The corticosteroid helps to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and accelerate the healing process. As a result, the acne lesion typically diminishes in size and redness, leading to a faster resolution and improved appearance. Acne injections are particularly effective for large, painful, or persistent acne lesions that do not respond to topical treatments or oral medications.
What to expect
After an acne injection, you can expect to see noticeable improvements in the treated acne lesions within a few days. The inflammation and swelling should subside, and the size and redness of the acne blemish should decrease. In some cases, a small temporary indentation or discoloration may appear at the injection site, but this typically resolves over time. The duration of results can vary depending on the individual and the severity of the acne. For optimal outcomes, our practitioners may recommend a series of treatments or combination therapies tailored to your specific needs. With our expertise and personalized care, we aim to help you achieve clearer, healthier-looking skin and boost your self-confidence.
