If you are experiencing a cystic acne breakout and can’t wait for the pimple to resolve on its own, you may be an excellent candidate for a Rapid Cortisone Shot with Decompression. Why deal with the discomfort and pain of a pimple - and risk the longterm effects of an acne scar. Our board-certified dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or expert Nurse Practitioner can help calm the inflammation with a safe and effective cortisone shot placed directly in the center of the cystic pimple.
Cortisone is a very safe medicine that can be injected directly into a pimple, causing a rapid decrease in inflammation and pain. Most patients will notice an immediate decompression within hours - especially if our expert acne surgeons unroof and decompress the pimple. Since we have in-house physicians on staff, including a board-certified plastic surgeon and a board-certified dermatologist in our Santa Monica office, we can offer you immediate treatment for a cystic pimple.
Why choose Kare Plastic Surgery and Dermatology for your acne needs? Because we have experts in the field of skin care, laser therapy for acne scars, and treatments for active acne. Our dermatologist is a specialist in Accutane therapy, chemical peels, non-medicinal acne treatments, laser acne therapy, and laser acne scar removal.
Cortisone shots work magic on stubborn and acute cystic acne. We often combine the cortisone shots with acne decompression where we unroof the clogged pore and allow the pus to decompress. Cortisone and decompression can be done on single pimples or across your face. Our aesthetician is also available by appointment. Our patients give us 5-Star reviews for cortisone injections in our Santa Monica Clinic.
