Cortisone Injections

Reduce skin redness, swelling, and pain with a simple shot.

Inflamed skin conditions such as eczema, acne, psoriasis, or allergy can cause discomfort or embarrassment. Cortisone Injections can help calm inflammation, reduce pain, and restore the health of your skin, particularly in the case of cystic acne.

Cortisone injections are shots of a diluted medication called triamcinolone acetonide (Kenalog). This medication is a type of corticosteroid, a potent anti-inflammatory agent. When injected directly into the affected area, it reduces inflammation and shrinks the size of the lesion.

At NSS Dermatology, we offer cortisone injections as one of our cosmetic as well as our medical dermatology services. Our experienced providers will assess your condition, discuss your goals and expectations, and determine the best dose and frequency of injections for you. Whether you need one or several shots, we can help you achieve smoother and clearer skin with cortisone injections.

What to Expect from Cortisone Injections at NSS Dermatology?

At NSS Dermatology, we strive to make your cortisone injection experience as comfortable and convenient as possible. Our board-certified dermatologists have the skills and knowledge to provide you with the best results possible. Here is what you can expect from the process:

When you arrive at our office, our friendly staff will greet you and escort you to a private treatment room. Your dermatologist will examine your skin and determine the best dosage and location for the injection. They will also ask about your medical history, allergies, medications, and skin conditions. You will also learn about the procedure’s benefits, risks, and alternatives, and the dermatologist will answer any questions.

Your dermatologist will clean the area to be treated with an antiseptic solution and mark the injection site with a pen. Using a fine needle, they will inject a small amount of cortisone solution into the acne lesion. The injection may cause a slight pinch or sting, but it will be over quickly.

You should see an improvement in your skin condition after the injection. For acne, the lesion will shrink and flatten, and the inflammation and pain will subside. Depending on the size and severity of your acne, you may need more than one injection, but you should wait at least two weeks between injections to allow your skin to heal properly.

Am I a Good Candidate for Cortisone Injections?

If you have a dermatological condition characterized by persistent inflammation including acne and Hidradenitis suppurativa and have not found relief from other treatments, cortisone injections may be suitable for you. Our dermatologists will assess your condition, discuss your concerns and goals, and determine if cortisone injections are the appropriate treatment option.
