Cortisone Injection

Cortisone Injection for Acne in Fairfield County, CT is a targeted, in-office procedure designed to rapidly reduce inflammation, redness, and swelling associated with cystic or severe acne lesions. By delivering a precise dose of corticosteroid directly into the affected nodule or cyst, cortisone injections accelerate healing, relieve pain, and prevent the formation of permanent scars. This treatment is ideal for patients with deep, persistent, or inflamed acne that does not respond adequately to topical or oral therapies. Administered by skilled medical providers, cortisone injections are minimally invasive, require little to no downtime, and are performed with exacting precision to ensure safety and optimal cosmetic results. When combined with a comprehensive acne management plan including professional skin care guidance, lifestyle recommendations, and adjunctive therapies, cortisone injections can significantly improve both the appearance and health of the skin, helping patients regain confidence and long-term skin clarity.
How does the treatment work?
The procedure is quick, usually 5–10 minutes, as only targeted areas are treated.
Does the treatment hurt or cause discomfort?
Patients may feel a brief sting or pressure at the injection site, which resolves quickly.
Is there any downtime or recovery?
There is minimal downtime. Redness or mild tenderness may appear for a few hours, but most patients resume normal activities immediately.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
Improvement is often visible within 24–48 hours, with full resolution over a few days. Effects are long-lasting for the treated lesions but do not prevent new acne from forming, so ongoing skincare is recommended.
Who is an appropriate candidate?
Individuals with deep, inflamed, or cystic acne lesions that are resistant to topical or oral treatments.
