Intralesional Steroid Injections

What concerns can this treatment help with?

This treatment is commonly used to improve raised or thickened scars, calm inflamed acne lesions, and manage certain types of patchy hair loss such as alopecia areata. Your practitioner will assess your concerns during consultation to determine suitability.

Is the treatment painful?

Most clients describe the sensation as mild and very brief. A fine needle is used, and the procedure is quick. Any discomfort usually settles immediately after treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of sessions required depends on the condition being treated and how your skin responds. Some concerns improve after a single session, while others benefit from a short course of treatments spaced several weeks apart.

Are there any side effects or downtime?

There is little to no downtime following intralesional steroid injections. Temporary tenderness, slight redness, or mild skin thinning at the treatment site can occur but are uncommon. All potential risks will be discussed in detail during your consultation.

Intralesional steroid injections deliver subtle yet transformative improvements, with results developing gradually for a natural, refined finish. As inflammation settles, treated areas begin to appear calmer, smoother, and more balanced, enhancing overall skin or scalp harmony rather than creating sudden change.

Raised scars may soften and flatten over time, while inflamed lesions typically appear less prominent, less red, and more comfortable. In suitable cases of patchy hair loss, clients may notice early signs of renewed growth as the scalp environment becomes healthier and more stable.

Results evolve gently over the weeks following treatment, allowing improvements to integrate seamlessly with your natural features. For optimal and long-lasting outcomes, a personalised course of treatments may be recommended following an in-depth consultation.
