We all want to feel flawless in our skin, but persistent acne and scarring can often stand in the way. Whether you’re dealing with ongoing acne breakouts or looking to smooth out old scars, Beauty Vault offers a powerful solution—cortisone injections.
This quick, effective treatment has become a go-to for reducing active acne and softening keloid scars, helping you unlock clearer, more radiant skin.
What Are Cortisone Injections?
Cortisone injections, also known as corticosteroid shots, are used both in medical and aesthetic treatments for their potent anti-inflammatory properties. From shrinking cystic acne to reducing the appearance of raised scars, cortisone works quickly and efficiently to calm problem areas and promote healing.
At Beauty Vault, we specialize in cortisone injections for cosmetic concerns like cystic acne and keloid scars. This treatment is ideal for patients who haven’t seen success with conventional acne treatments or scar removal methods.
How Do Cortisone Injections Work?
Cortisone is a type of steroid that reduces inflammation and swelling. When injected into the affected area, cortisone targets the root cause of acne and scarring by entering the bloodstream and reducing inflammation. This makes it an ideal treatment for cystic acne and keloid scars, both of which can be difficult to treat through traditional methods.
Cortisone Injections for Acne in Hollywood
Cystic acne can be stubborn, painful, and often leaves behind long-lasting scars. Cortisone injections offer fast relief by decreasing redness, swelling, and discomfort. Beyond treating active breakouts, these injections also prevent new scar formation, helping your skin recover faster and appear clearer.
Cortisone Injections for Keloid Scars in Hollywood
Keloid scars occur when the skin produces too much collagen, resulting in a raised, firm appearance. These scars can form after injuries, piercings, or even acne. While harmless, they can affect confidence and are notoriously tough to reduce. Cortisone injections work to flatten and soften keloid scars, improving the skin’s appearance over time.
