When painful, swollen pimples appear—especially right before important events—Acne Clear Injections offer a fast-acting solution. Popular in Gangnam’s top dermatology clinics, this treatment delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly into the acne lesion, significantly reducing swelling and redness within 24 to 48 hours.


What Are Acne Clear Injections?

Acne Clear Injections are localized intralesional treatments that involve injecting a diluted corticosteroid (usually triamcinolone) directly into inflamed pimples. These injections reduce swelling, pain, and redness rapidly by suppressing inflammation at the root of the breakout. They are most effective for large, cystic, or nodular acne lesions.


What Types of Acne Can Be Treated?

Acne Clear Injections are ideal for:

  • Cystic acne: Deep, painful lumps under the skin
  • Nodular acne: Large, inflamed bumps without heads
  • Inflamed papules or pustules that are swollen and red
  • Emergency spot treatments before events or photoshoots
  • Recurring acne in the same area that doesn’t respond to topical care

This treatment is not used for blackheads, whiteheads, or mild acne.


How Do the Injections Work?

The dermatologist uses a fine needle to inject a very small amount of corticosteroid into the acne lesion. This reduces inflammation and suppresses immune overreaction, causing the swelling and pain to subside quickly. In many cases, the lesion flattens within 1 to 2 days.

The dosage is carefully controlled to avoid skin thinning or discoloration.


Who Is a Good Candidate?

Acne Clear Injections are suitable for:

  • Individuals with occasional large breakouts or cysts
  • Patients needing fast relief before a special occasion
  • Those with painful or inflamed acne that doesn't respond to topical products
  • Adults and teens under dermatologic supervision
  • Safe for most skin types when administered by a professional


What Is the Treatment Experience Like?

  • Duration: Just 5–10 minutes per session
  • Discomfort: Minimal—most compare it to a tiny pinch
  • No anesthesia required
  • Performed in a sterile, outpatient clinic setting

Patients often return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.


Post-Treatment & Care

  • No downtime required—makeup and daily activities can resume the same day
  • Mild redness or tenderness at the injection site may last a few hours
  • Avoid squeezing or irritating the lesion before or after treatment
  • Long-term or repeated use in the same spot should be spaced to avoid atrophy


When Will I See Results?

  • Most patients see visible improvement within 24–48 hours
  • The lesion typically flattens and fades quickly with little or no scarring
  • Best results occur with early intervention during inflammation
  • Can prevent cysts from progressing into deep scars


Key Benefits of Acne Clear Injections

  • Rapid relief from painful, swollen breakouts
  • Prevents long-term scarring from cystic acne
  • Simple, fast, in-office procedure
  • Ideal for emergency acne management
  • Can be combined with other acne treatments for long-term control
