Intra lesional therapy involves injecting medication directly into skin lesions, targeting conditions like keloids, warts, nodulocystic acne, and other localized skin issues. This treatment delivers medication precisely where it’s needed, reducing inflammation, promoting healing, and minimizing side effects compared to systemic treatments. At Skin Avenue, our expert team provides intra lesional therapy as a safe and effective solution for a variety of skin concerns.
Keloid Treatment
Keloids are overgrown scar tissues that develop at the site of an injury. They can be raised, itchy, and even painful. Intra lesional therapy for keloids involves injecting corticosteroids or other medications directly into the scar tissue, reducing inflammation and flattening the keloid over time. This treatment helps shrink the size of the keloid, improving the skin’s appearance and reducing discomfort.
Wart Treatment
Warts are stubborn, viral skin growths that can be resistant to topical treatments. Intra lesional therapy for warts involves the injection of an anti-viral or immune-modulating medication directly into the wart, helping to break down the tissue and stimulate the body’s immune response. This treatment is particularly effective for warts that have not responded to other methods.
Nodulocystic Acne Treatment
Nodulocystic acne is a severe form of acne that results in large, painful cysts beneath the skin. Intra lesional therapy involves injecting corticosteroids directly into the cysts to reduce inflammation and speed up healing. This method provides rapid relief from pain and swelling while minimizing the risk of scarring. Dr. Shivani Yadav often recommends this treatment for patients with severe, cystic acne.
Wound Treatment
For stubborn or slow-healing wounds, intra lesional therapy can be a valuable option. By injecting medications that promote healing directly into the affected area, we can accelerate tissue repair and reduce the risk of complications. This treatment is ideal for individuals dealing with chronic wounds, ulcers, or other localized skin issues.
