Acne Pimple Shots with Cortisone in Santa Monica
Pimple shots are among the most common in-office procedures performed at Kare Plastic Surgery and Skin Health center in Santa Monica. Our experienced team of clinical nurses and three board-certified surgeons can help you stay ahead of inflammatory cystic acne, and pimple breakouts.
Pimple shots contain a small amount of Cortisone that helps reduce the inflammation and redness associated with pimples on the face or body. If left unchecked, large cystic acne pimples can cause devastating injury to the dermis of the skin, often leading to an atrophic and indented scar. By injecting a small amount of Cortisone into a pimple, we can effectively reduce the amount of inflammation and decompress the pimple so that it can calm down.

Who benefits from pimple shots with Cortisone?
Cortisone injections can dramatically reduce the inflammation associated with a pimple. We use a product known as Kenalog that is carefully titrated to reduce inflammation without significant downside to the skin. In addition, we use sterile techniques to decompress inflammatory cystic acne, so that the pustule can become less inflamed and red. If you have a major event and have an inflammatory cystic pimple that is not going away, we can use these injections to help speed up the recovery within a matter of hours or days.
Our cosmetic dermatology center is also equipped with several lasers to reduce inflammation in the skin, including the powerful Vbeam laser that can target inflammation and redness for patients who have rosacea, chronic acne, and inflammatory pustules.
