Our Approach to Intralesional Steroids

We begin with a thorough assessment of your skin condition, reviewing medical history and symptoms. This helps determine if intralesional steroids are suitable and allows us to tailor a treatment plan that targets specific areas for optimal effectiveness.

Stage 2
Precise Injection Procedure

We administer intralesional steroid injections directly into the affected areas. This targeted approach ensures maximum efficacy, reducing inflammation and swelling while minimizing potential side effects associated with systemic corticosteroid use.

Stage 3
Post-Treatment Care and Monitoring

After treatment, we provide detailed care instructions to support healing and minimize potential side effects. Regular follow-ups monitor progress, address any concerns, and ensure the treatment effectively improves the skin condition and enhances overall skin health.
