Acne Injections in San Carlos, CA

Corticosteroid shots, also referred to as cortisone shots or acne injections, are an effective treatment for individual, large acne nodules. A small amount of cortisone is injected directly into the pimple with a very small needle and this can rapidly reduce pain and flatten the pimple within 24 hours.  Cortisone shots for acne are primarily used to heal just one to three stubborn, painful zits at a time, and they’re seen as a “rescue” tool — not as a long term treatment for chronic acne.  If you have a large, cystic acne lesion that would like to be treated quickly to prevent scarring and pain, this might be a great treatment option for you.
