If you have ever suffered with an ingrown hair, you understand what a relief it is to find a solution. Just one cortisone shot can easily bring down the inflammation that has kept the hair trapped below the skin.
First, one of highly trained registered nurses will evaluate the area to be treated and make sure that what we are dealing with is actually an ingrown hair. Then we will inject cortisone into the base of the cyst that has formed. The cortisone will bring down the swelling within 48 hours and the hair should fall out on its own with the aid of mild exfoliation.
