Most individuals report feeling a mild pinch or stinging sensation at the injection site. We minimize any potential discomfort by using a fine needle and, if necessary, applying a topical anesthetic to the treatment area. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, and any discomfort is typically brief.

The downtime associated with acne injections is minimal. After the treatment, you can generally resume your daily activities immediately. However, it is important to note that some redness or slight swelling may occur at the injection sites, but these side effects typically subside within a few hours to a day. Makeup can usually be applied to cover any temporary discoloration. You may be advised to avoid excessive sun exposure and strenuous exercise for a day or two following the treatment to allow the skin to heal effectively.

Acne injections provide rapid relief and improvement in the treated acne lesions. In most cases, you can expect to see a significant reduction in inflammation, redness, and size of the acne cyst or nodule within a few days after the treatment.

Acne injections are generally safe and well-tolerated. Common side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, or mild discomfort at the injection sites. These effects are typically mild and transient. In rare cases, there is a possibility of infection, skin discoloration, or the formation of small indentations at the injection sites which resolve over time.

Before your acne injections appointment, it is recommended to arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. Avoid applying any creams, lotions, or topical treatments to the acne lesions on the day of the treatment.
