Acne Medi-Facial is a specialised facial treatment designed to target acne and improve the overall health and appearance of your skin. This treatment involves a combination of advanced techniques to cleanse, exfoliate, and nourish the skin, promoting a clearer and more radiant complexion.
Cortisone’s anti-inflammatory properties help shrink and flatten acne cysts. The treatment can include an antibiotic to enhance effectiveness by combining antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.
A fine needle is used, causing minimal discomfort. The injection process is quick and feels like a small pin-prick/ant bite.
Improvements typically begin within 12 to 24 hours, with a significant reduction in acne size and symptoms, and decreased risk of scarring.
This treatment is ideal for those with cystic acne needing rapid improvement, not effective on whiteheads or blackheads. Draining pus before injection is recommended for best results.
Having the procedure performed by an experienced doctor is crucial due to two potential side effects:
This side effect, characterised by depression or pitting in the skin, can occur if a high concentration or dose of corticosteroid is injected. Most cases of skin atrophy gradually heal over time, with some taking up to six months, although in rare instances, the pitting may be permanent. It’s important to note that such depressions or pitting may also result from the natural acne scarring process and not necessarily from the injection. The procedure can help reduce the risk of acne scarring.
In individuals with darker skin tones, cortisone injections may cause an area of lighter skin known as hypopigmentation. This effect is usually temporary and tends to resolve over time.
