WHAT DOES A PIMPLE INJECTION DO?
A small amount of diluted corticosteroid is injected into the acne cyst or nodule. The steroid immediately calms inflammation, shrinks swelling, and accelerates healing. The result: a smoother, flatter spot within days—sometimes overnight.

Quite the opposite — steroid injections help prevent scarring by reducing inflammation quickly.
