To ensure your safety, we don’t recommend this injection to patients who:
Tia uses specialty trained licensed advanced practice clinicians (NPs & PAs) to deliver this care.
We can treat deep, painful cysts on both the face and the body. If you have multiple cysts, let your provider know so we can plan the safest approach.
You can expect the redness, swelling, and tenderness start to calm within 24 hours, with the bump flattening out over the next 48–72 hours. Full healing (and fading of any residual discoloration) can take a week or more, but the “wow, that’s so much better” moment typically arrives in just a day or two.
How you address your skin care goals is a deeply personal choice. Your Tia provider is here to thoroughly understand your objectives and preferences, and take your whole health into account when considering results. At the start of every visit, you and your provider will align on your goals and your treatment plan, with you always in the driver’s seat.

We recommend giving the spot at least two weeks to settle before returning for another injection. And, we wouldn’t recommend treating the same area more than 3 times in a 6 week period, as that can increase the risk for pigment changes and atrophy at the injection site. If you continue to experience concerns, we recommend booking an Acne visit at Tia to for Acne diagnosis and treatment.
This Acne Injection visit is intended to provide cosmetic and symptomatic relief for a cystic acne blemish. For routine acne diagnosis and treatment, please book an Acne visit.
In some cases, steroid injections can help flatten hypertrophic scars and keloids.. Talk with your provider to see whether this treatment is appropriate for your specific concern.
You’ll feel a quick pinch, similar to a flu shot, plus a few seconds of pressure. Most people say it’s over before they can finish a deep breath.
Minor redness or tenderness is common for a day. Rarely, treating the exact same spot too often can cause a small “dip” or pigmentation changes, this is why it’s important to not inject the same area too frequently.
Boost your skin’s clarity with acne injections. We’ll review your concerns, whether persistent breakouts, inflamed spots, or cystic acne, and create a targeted plan that reduces inflammation and speeds healing for clearer, calmer skin.
