Overview

What is Intra-Lesional Injections?

Intra-lesional injections deliver medication directly into specific skin lesions to reduce inflammation, flatten scars and accelerate healing with controlled dosing.

At Own Skin, intra-lesional therapy is performed under dermatological supervision using indication-specific medications such as corticosteroids, immunomodulators or other therapeutic agents, depending on the condition treated.
