Most patients see inflammation subside immediately, with continued improvement over the next 72 hours—making it a go-to option before important events or for treating stubborn, deep breakouts that don’t respond to topicals.

An acne injection—also known as a cortisone shot—is a quick, targeted treatment for cystic acne flare-ups and inflamed breakouts. At Skinship Atlanta, we inject a small amount of steroid medication directly into the blemish to reduce swelling, redness, and discomfort. This is one of the most effective quick acne relief options for deep, stubborn pimples.

Cortisone shots for acne are most effective for inflamed, swollen breakouts like cystic acne, nodules, or deep, painful pimples—the kinds that sit below the surface and take a long time to heal. Because these blemishes don’t usually respond well to topicals alone, a targeted cortisone injection can calm inflammation and speed up recovery.

*Not recommended for treating whiteheads, blackheads, or smaller surface-level acne.

Acne injections are quick and cause minimal discomfort—most clients feel only a brief pinch.

While side effects like tenderness or atrophy are rare, we take every precaution to avoid them. At Skinship, we customize every acne injection as part of a personalized treatment plan, tailored to your skin type, breakout severity, and long-term goals. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin closely to ensure safe, effective, and targeted care.

Multiple or single breakouts of your face can be safely treated in a single visit. However, to ensure your safety and prevent potential side effects like skin thinning, we require waiting at least 4–6 weeks before injecting the same spot again.

At Skinship Atlanta, your skin health and confidence are our top priority. Our personalized approach ensures your treatment plan is safe, effective, and tailored to your skin’s needs.
