Intralesional injections for active acne involve injecting corticosteroids directly into inflamed acne lesions, reducing inflammation and promoting rapid healing. This targeted treatment offers quick relief, minimising lesions and preventing scarring, making it effective for severe or persistent cases of acne.
Intralesional injections involve the direct injection of medication into specific acne lesions to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Intralesional injections help in reducing inflammation by suppressing the immune response and reducing swelling, thereby improving the appearance of the affected area.
We use topical numbing agents to locally anaesthetise the treatment area to minimise pain.
Improvement in the appearance and reduction of inflammation can often be noticed within a few days after the injection.
Intralesional injections are mainly used for inflamed lesions such as cysts, nodules or larger papules and might not be effective for all types of acne. Our dermatologist will guide you on the best treatment possible.
