Frequently Asked Questions

How fast do steroid injections work?
Most cysts shrink within 24–48 hours after treatment.

Is it painful?
Discomfort is minimal. The injection is very quick and typically well tolerated.

Mild thinning or lightening at the injection site is possible but uncommon when performed correctly by a physician.

How often can I get this treatment?
As needed for breakouts. Your doctor will guide safe frequency based on your skin condition.

Is this treatment safe for all skin types?
Yes. Steroid injections can be performed safely on all skin types and tones.

Will it leave a scar?
Quite the opposite — steroid injections help prevent scarring by reducing inflammation quickly.

Can I combine this with other acne treatments?
Yes. Many patients use steroid injections alongside oral or topical medications and medical facials.
