Acne Injections
Intralesional corticosteroid injections for Acne
Intralesional corticosteroid injections quickly reduce inflammation in deep breakouts, clearing blemishes and minimizing scars within days.
At Bellair Laser Clinic, we offer the widest array of acne treatments including steroid injections for the fastest relief of an unwanted breakout.
Intralesional corticosteroid injections are used to treat deep papules, nodule or cysts. A very dilute corticosteroid is injected directly into the blemish. The steroid injection uses a small painless needle and will be able to deliver very quick and effective results. The injection will be able to reduce the inflammation of the breakout and will often clear the infected area in 1-5 days. The Corticosteroid injections also lessen the chance of developing scars, which is especially important for people who are prone to developing hyperpigmentation and pitted scarring after a breakout. Corticosteroid injections are also used to help shrink scars.
NOTE: Individual Results May Vary
Effective and Fast Acting
Intralesional Kenalog (triamcinolone acetonide) injections have been used in dermatology for decades to treat large, inflamed acne cysts and nodules. A foundational 1983 study by Levine and Rasmussen, published in Archives of Dermatology, found that triamcinolone significantly improved cystic acne lesions within three to seven days of injection. More recent research, including a 2025 study in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment, confirmed that intralesional triamcinolone safely reduces inflammation, swelling, and pain in cystic acne, often clearing lesions within days. The treatment is widely recommended for stubborn cysts that don't respond to topical or oral medications.
