Acne Cyst Injections
Most cysts flatten within 72 hours
The fastest exit from a painful cyst
A deep, painful bump that will not come to a head is a cyst, and squeezing it only makes it angrier. One quick injection calms the inflammation from the inside, which is why this is our most-booked acne visit before events.
How it works
A small amount of cortisone solution is diluted and injected with a tiny needle directly into the blemish. Within a few hours the site should begin reducing in size, and most cysts flatten within 72 hours.
When to book
The sooner a cyst is treated, the less time it has to press on the surrounding skin. Same-week appointments are available at all three locations, and the visit takes just minutes.
If breakouts keep coming
A shot solves the emergency. If new cysts keep forming, our acne treatment page maps the longer-term options, from clarifying facials to peels.
