Acne Injections (Cortisone)
Say goodbye to pesky breakouts and restore your confidence with our acne cortisone injections.
The Cortisone Cure
An acne injection is a targeted skincare treatment that involves injecting a diluted form of cortisone directly into acne lesions. This powerful anti-inflammatory medication helps reduce swelling, redness, and discomfort associated with acne, promoting faster healing and improving the appearance of breakouts. Cortisone shots are particularly beneficial for cystic acne, as they can quickly shrink the size of the blemish and alleviate pain.
