📢 Important Advisory for Patients Considering Cosmetic/Medical Procedures
Dear Valued Patients,
We believe in providing you with the best care and guidance as you consider cosmetic procedures to enhance your well-being. It is crucial for us to ensure that you are well-informed and understand the nuances of these procedures, including their limitations and potential risks. Please take a moment to read and absorb the following points:
No Guaranteed Outcomes: It is essential to comprehend that no medical treatment or surgery can be guaranteed to result in absolute benefits or complete recovery. We want to emphasize that there are no guarantees of being "cured" or achieving specific outcomes.
Informed Decision Making: Prior to undergoing any cosmetic procedure, we encourage you to educate yourself about the procedure's details, potential risks, and anticipated outcomes. This empowers you to make informed decisions aligned with your personal goals and expectations.
Risk Considerations: No procedure is entirely risk-free. All medical interventions, including cosmetic procedures, carry inherent risks. Understanding and accepting these risks is a vital part of your journey towards achieving your desired results.
Doctor's Skill and Competence: We assure you that our team possesses the necessary expertise and competence in their respective fields. We commit to applying our skills with reasonable care and competence to ensure your safety and well-being.
Timing and Emotional Well-being: Optimal results from cosmetic procedures can be influenced by emotional factors. We recommend considering the timing of your procedure, especially in relation to major life events such as relocation, job changes, bereavement, relationship changes, or the arrival of children. Emotional stability contributes positively to your overall experience.
Your health and satisfaction are our top priorities. By acknowledging these points, you are taking an active role in your journey towards self-enhancement. If you have any questions or concerns, our dedicated team is here to provide you with the guidance you need.
Thank you for trusting us with your care.
How many sessions are required?
How many sessions are required?
The healthier your skin/hair are when starting out, the easier it will take the treatment. The sessions must be spaced to allow adequate healing in between. Skin/Hair that are healthy enough to regenerate fairly quickly will be able to endure more sessions of a treatment in a shorter period of time.
While these aren’t the only factors involved, they are the most common. Don’t be surprised, however, if your doctor mentions another situation that could impact the length and/or number of sessions you may require. Every person is different, and your circumstances will be unique only to YOU.
Cortisone shots, also known as corticosteroid injections, are a dermatological procedure used to quickly and effectively reduce inflammation associated with severe or cystic acne lesions. This treatment involves injecting a diluted corticosteroid solution directly into the acne lesion, targeting the inflammation at its source. Cortisone shots are typically administered by trained medical professionals in a clinical setting.
Key Benefits:
- Rapid Reduction of Inflammation: Cortisone shots provide fast relief from the swelling, redness, and pain associated with severe acne lesions, often within 24 to 48 hours of treatment.
- Promotes Healing: By reducing inflammation, cortisone shots facilitate the natural healing process of the skin, leading to faster resolution of acne lesions and minimizing the risk of scarring.
- Targeted Treatment: Unlike topical medications that may take time to penetrate the skin, cortisone shots deliver medication directly into the affected area, ensuring precise and effective treatment.
- Improved Appearance: By quickly diminishing the size and severity of acne lesions, cortisone shots can significantly improve the appearance of the skin, boosting confidence and self-esteem.
Procedure:
- Consultation: Before administering cortisone shots, patients undergo a consultation with a dermatologist or trained healthcare provider to assess the severity of their acne and determine if cortisone shots are an appropriate treatment option.
- Preparation: The skin around the acne lesion is cleansed thoroughly to minimize the risk of infection.
- Injection: Using a fine needle, the cortisone solution is injected directly into the acne lesion. The injection is quick and typically causes minimal discomfort.
- Post-Treatment Care: Patients may receive instructions on post-treatment care, such as avoiding excessive sun exposure and refraining from picking or touching the treated area.
Who Can Benefit:
- Individuals with severe or cystic acne that does not respond adequately to topical treatments or oral medications.
- Those seeking fast relief from painful, inflamed acne lesions.
- Individuals who wish to minimize the risk of scarring associated with severe acne.
Considerations:
- Cortisone shots are not suitable for all types of acne. They are typically reserved for severe or cystic acne lesions.
- While cortisone shots can provide rapid relief, they are not a permanent solution for acne. Maintenance treatments or additional therapies may be necessary to manage acne long-term.
- Possible side effects may include temporary skin discoloration, thinning of the skin at the injection site, or rarely, allergic reactions.
Cortisone shots offer a highly effective and targeted approach to treating severe or cystic acne, providing rapid relief from inflammation and promoting faster healing of acne lesions. With proper consultation and administration by trained professionals, cortisone shots can significantly improve the appearance and overall health of the skin, restoring confidence and well-being to individuals struggling with severe acne.
