For stubborn cystic acne, our steroid injection can significantly reduce swelling and discomfort within 24 hours. This 3 nodule treatment can be customized to your needs, with numbing cream available for comfort. Please note this treatment requires a consultation and is not for superficial acne. It should not be booked as a way to regularly treat superficial acne.

The whole treatment takes about 15 minutes, and you can request numbing cream to ease any discomfort you may have.
During this treatment, a North Medical Practitioner will inject a diluted corticosteroid directly into your papule, nodule, or cyst.
The injection treats the active lesion quickly, and once healed, it typically doesn’t return in that spot. However, it doesn’t prevent future acne—your provider may recommend a longer-term acne management plan.
Most patients notice improvement within 24 to 48 hours. The lesion usually flattens, becomes less red, and significantly less painful.
An acne steroid injection (also known as an intralesional corticosteroid injection) is a quick treatment used to reduce swelling, pain, and redness in large, cystic acne lesions. A diluted corticosteroid is injected directly into the breakout to calm inflammation and speed up healing.
"I woke up with one of those deep, under-the-skin pimples that hurt to even touch. I called North Medical Spa, and they got me in that same day. The injection worked SO fast—I looked like myself again within two days. Total game changer!"
