Acne Cortisone Injection

Dealing with severe acne breakouts can be frustrating, especially when traditional treatments don’t provide the relief you need. Acne cortisone injections offer a powerful and effective solution to quickly reduce inflammation and calm stubborn pimples or cysts. These injections use steroids to target the affected areas, providing rapid relief from painful and persistent acne. At Versailles Medical Spa in Darien, we specialize in acne cortisone injections, offering a safe, non-surgical option for those looking to regain clear, healthy skin. Our skilled team provides personalized care, ensuring you get the most effective treatment tailored to your unique needs.

How it Works

Maximum Efficiency

Cortisone injections provide rapid results, effectively reducing inflammation and swelling from severe acne breakouts within 24–48 hours. They are especially beneficial for cystic acne, offering a targeted solution when other treatments fail to deliver fast relief.

The Comfort Of The Procedure

The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, involving a small injection directly into the affected area. Most patients report minimal discomfort, as the needle used is very fine, and the procedure takes only a few moments.

Persistent Effect Up To 6 Months

While cortisone injections are designed for rapid acne relief rather than long-term prevention, their effects on individual cystic acne lesions can be long-lasting. The treated area typically remains clear once the inflammation subsides, often preventing the recurrence of the same lesion. For persistent acne concerns, our team can recommend complementary treatments to maintain clear skin over the long term.

Certified Drug Safety

Cortisone injections are a well-established, medically approved treatment for severe acne. At Versailles Medical Spa, we use only FDA-approved corticosteroids, and our licensed medical providers follow strict safety protocols to ensure your treatment is both safe and effective.

IS ACNE CORTISONE INJECTION FOR YOU?

The most important thing to note is that acne cortisone injections are not meant to be a part of your regular skincare routine. This treatment is not even meant to be used on every type of pimple or cyst. It is designed to be used specifically on large, painful lesions that can scar without treatment. Please schedule an appointment with Versailles Medical Spa to discuss your concerns with one of our talented team members.

ACNE CORTISONE INJECTION FAQ

Quick answers to questions you may have

How much does acne cortisone injection cost?

The cost for Acne Cortisone Injection will depend on several factors. The number of sessions will influence the final price, as will the severity of the cosmetic issues being addressed.

How do acne cortisone injections work?

An acne cortisone shot is simply an injection of an extremely diluted synthetic hormone known as a corticosteroid into the wart, cyst, lesion, or other blemishes. This solution acts as an anti-inflammatory that is able to quickly weaken the walls of the cyst. Due to this, it is able to alleviate most redness, swelling, and pain within just a few days. In some cases, ourteammay numb the area with topical lidocaine before making the injection. However, as acne cortisone shots are made using a microneedle, pain is typically minimal except in the most severe of circumstances.

What to expect after an acne cortisone injection?

First and foremost, you can expect an almost immediate reduction in inflammation and pain. Within 24 hours of the injection, the cyst should be significantly softer, smaller, and flatter. The blemish will not entirely fade in every case, but it should be in a noticeably better condition within a week. An acne cortisone injection can only be administered to the same area once every six weeks in order to avoid unwanted side effects, such as absorption, thinning of the skin, and scarring.
