Intralesional injections are a targeted dermatological treatment that involves injecting medications directly into skin lesions to reduce inflammation, flatten raised scars, or treat conditions like keloids, cystic acne, alopecia areata, and hypertrophic scars. This method ensures maximum efficacy with minimal side effects, as the medication is localized to the affected area.
- Reduces swelling and inflammation
- Effective for keloids, acne cysts, and scars
- Minimal discomfort and downtime
This procedure is quick, safe, and typically performed in-office. Depending on the condition, multiple sessions may be required for best results. Intralesional injections offer a minimally invasive approach to managing stubborn or resistant skin lesions that do not respond well to topical treatments.

Everything you need to know about intralesional injections
Intralesional injections are commonly used for keloids, hypertrophic scars, cystic acne, alopecia areata, psoriasis plaques, and other inflammatory skin conditions.
The injections may cause mild discomfort similar to a pinprick. Numbing creams can be applied beforehand to ease the process for sensitive patients.
The number of sessions varies depending on the condition being treated. Some patients may need a single session, while others require multiple visits spaced a few weeks apart.
