About Cortisone

Many of us know that using a cortisone shot can help when you have arthritis or some other kind of pain. That’s not usually why we give folks a cortisone shot at Divante Laser MedSpa. With us, our shot is a cosmetic treatment. These shots have more beauty benefits than most people realize. With a cortisone shot, you can look better than you have, and take care of beauty emergencies when you have to. Cortisone can get rid of acne and cysts immediately.

A CORTISONE SHOT AT DIVANTE

The cortisone we use is similar to cortisol, which is the natural anti-inflammatory hormone in your body. A cortisone shot has also been called a “corticosteroid” shot. They’ve been proven to be very effective in dealing with what’s called “cystic acne.” This particular acne can be much more difficult to get rid of than traditional pimples. The reason for that is: this kind of acne is just below the skin. You can’t necessarily pick at it to get rid of it. To get rid of it fast, you basically need something that can go in there and do something about it.

That’s where our cortisone comes in. It deflates the cystic acne from the inside. Then, you don’t have to worry about the acne coming back for some time. By dealing with the cystic acne where it really is, as opposed to where it appears that it is, the cortisone is highly effective.

Eczema can be a problem at various times of the year. In Southern California, we’re lucky to have summer-like conditions for much of the year. That means that the weather is warm and often quite dry. However, that can also lead to eczema flare-ups, too. See, with eczema, it can make your skin extraordinarily dry. When eczema ignites, it makes some spots of your body very itchy. Scratching those areas, picking at them, or rubbing them profusely isn’t really going to help. What can help is cortisone. It can get in there and calm eczema. By soothing it, it can provide eczema sufferers some much-needed relief.

Many people come to get cortisone from us when they realize that their zit isn’t just a small matter. Often, someone will tell us that: “I thought the zit was going to go away, but it just never did.” When you have a zit that isn’t going away on its own, despite you using a host of oils, ointments, gels, and masks, that might be time to try the cortisone. In roughly 24 hours, we can make sure that this large zit goes away.

HELP WITH CYSTIC ACNE, SCARS AND MORE

If you’ve had a scar for some period of time in your life, odds are that you’re ready to get rid of it. Maybe you’re tired of telling people how you got the scar or a host of other problems. Cortisone can also be an effective treatment for scars, helping them to ultimately disappear. At Divante Laser MedSpa, we have many different kinds of treatments for scars. When you contact us for a free consultation, we’ll figure out which one is right for you.

Ingrown hairs are also another way that an injection of cortisone can help. If you’ve ever had a very bad ingrown hair before, then you know they can’t necessarily be cut or plucked out. Largely, that’s due to the skin around the ingrown hair. This is one more place that cortisone is effective. We can use that treatment to make the hair less noticeable and minimize it. In the span of about 24 hours, that bump should completely go away.

Imagine that you have big plans tonight: maybe you think your significant other is going to propose, perhaps you have a formal dinner that greatly helps your career, or maybe you just want to look good for a great night. Regardless, this is a night that you’ve been looking forward to for a while. You planned your outfit, your schedule, everything: this night is going to be perfect. But then, you wake up in the morning and see… a pimple. Yes, a pimple. A big, noticeable, hard to look at anything else on your face no matter what pimple.

It’s shocking that this kind of thing can happen to regular people. After all, you aren’t a teenager anymore. But, pimples, cysts and more can just appear at any time. Picking at it isn’t exactly a good strategy, and it’s liable to make things worse. That’s where our cortisone treatment can help. Instead of spending all day worried about this pimple and how you can deal with it, just schedule to get a shot of cortisone with us. When you have a pimple that comes out of nowhere but is very swollen, larger than you might think, and even painful, that’s when it’s time to talk to the medical professionals at Divante Laser MedSpa.

We can inject you with the cortisone and it will take care of the acne or cyst immediately. You’ll notice we used the word “immediately.” We did not use a weasel word, such as “eventually” or “in time.” No, we said “immediately.” The reason for that is simple: that’s how fast this treatment works. When you get a shot of cortisone with us, it can take care of any acne or similar problem in an instant.

Additionally, this is a treatment that works financially for many people. We understand if it’s a bit difficult to get everything together for a larger treatment, or some kind of other injectable. However, a shot of cortisone is only $29. That’s it. For the price of two tickets to a movie, you can get rid of a pimple that just appeared on your face in a hurry. This is one of our less expensive treatments, so it’s no wonder that this has proven to be so successful for so many people.

At Divante Laser MedSpa, our trained medical staff can help you through every step of the shot of cortisone process. When you contact us for a free consultation, we’ll sit down with you and figure out if this is the right way to help you with your needs. Sometimes, with this kind of shot, you may not necessarily need a consultation. Simply schedule an appointment with us and then come in. We’ll make sure to get rid of any acne or cysts that you might have in no time.

Our cortisone isn’t really a way to deal with normal, average pimples. This is a treatment best used for the hardest to get rid of ones: the cystic acne. When you have this kind of acne on your back, chest or face, it can make everything in your life more difficult. It’s normal and natural to worry that people aren’t looking at you, rather they’re looking at your cystic acne. When you have important engagements and a busy schedule, you quite literally don’t have time to deal with that. That’s why our cortisone shot has proven to be so popular. With just one of these shots, you can get rid of those for a long period of time. We do recommend that you don’t use our cortisone often. Should your problems resurface, someone from Divante MedSpa will be happy to talk to you about more long-term solutions.

The actual cortisone shot process is quite simple. A Divante Laser MedSpa staff professional will clean the area around the injection site. There may be some pressure when the needles are inserted, but that it’s it. This isn’t a long process or one that requires a lot of time. One of the best things about this shot is that it won’t take you out of your day. Instead of taking a lot of time to recuperate, you can head back out to work, play, or anything else.
