Because Sometimes You Don’t Have Time to Wait for a Pimple to Heal

There’s nothing more frustrating than a painful, under-the-skin pimple showing up right before a big event — especially the kind that just won’t go away no matter what you try. The good news? You don’t have to wait it out.

At Mirror Mirror Med Spa, we offer cortisone injections as a fast, effective way to calm down cystic acne — the kind that sits deep, hurts to the touch, and seems to take forever to disappear. Here’s how one tiny injection can save your skin in a pinch.

1. What Is a Cortisone Shot for Acne?

A cortisone shot is a small steroid injection placed directly into a stubborn acne cyst or nodule.

What it does:

Reduces inflammation at the source
Flattens the pimple — sometimes within 24 hours
Speeds up healing and prevents scarring
Eases redness and tenderness almost instantly

It’s a quick, medical solution for the type of breakout no over-the-counter product can touch.

2. Who Can Benefit from This Treatment?

Cortisone injections are ideal for:

Painful, deep cystic pimples
Swollen breakouts that are not ready to pop
Emergency situations before photos, weddings, or events
Clients prone to post-acne scarring

It’s a treatment we recommend only as needed — not for small whiteheads or blackheads, but for the real troublemakers that can linger for weeks.

3. What Happens During the Appointment?

The procedure is fast and nearly painless.

Here’s what to expect:

Cleanse & prep: We sanitize the area and assess the breakout
Micro-injection: A tiny needle delivers diluted cortisone directly into the pimple
No downtime: You’re done in minutes and can return to your day

Most clients see the bump flatten significantly in 24–48 hours — and in many cases, the redness and pain are gone even sooner.

4. When Should You Book a Cortisone Shot?

Timing is everything. If you’ve got a big moment coming up — don’t wait.

Common moments we treat before:

Weddings, photoshoots, or interviews
Dates or vacations
Special events or high-pressure work weeks

The earlier you come in, the better the outcome. Even if the breakout just started, cortisone can stop it from getting worse and cut healing time dramatically.

5. Safe, Effective, and Confidence-Saving

Cortisone shots are safe when done by trained professionals and used sparingly.

Why clients love them:

Saves your skin from scarring
Helps you feel confident in a pinch
Quick, clean, and effective
A great addition to a personalized acne treatment plan

While it’s not a cure for ongoing acne, it’s a powerful tool for when your skin needs an emergency rescue.

Don’t Let a Breakout Steal Your Spotlight

Whether it’s a wedding, a work event, or just a weekend you’ve been looking forward to, you don’t have to let a stubborn pimple ruin your moment.
