Intra-Lesional Infiltration
What is Intra-Lesional Infiltration ?
Intra-lesional infiltration is a medical procedure where medications are directly injected into a skin lesion or affected area to treat various dermatological and inflammatory conditions. This targeted approach delivers high concentrations of the drug precisely where needed, enhancing effectiveness and minimizing systemic side effects.
How Does It Work?
During the procedure, a fine needle is used to inject medication, such as corticosteroids or other agents, into the lesion. This helps:
- Reduce inflammation
- Control overactive immune responses
- Decrease thickness or size of the lesion
- Promote faster healing
Conditions Treated with Intra-Lesional Infiltration
✅ Keloids and hypertrophic scars
✅ Alopecia areata (patchy hair loss)
✅ Psoriasis plaques
✅ Lichen planus
✅ Acne cysts or nodules
✅ Granuloma annulare
✅ Other localized skin disorders
Benefits of Intra-Lesional Infiltration
- Direct delivery of medication to the problem area
- Faster and more effective results
- Minimal systemic absorption, reducing side effects
- Simple outpatient procedure with no hospital stay required
- Quick recovery time
Procedure Details
- Consultation and Assessment – The dermatologist examines the lesion and determines suitability for treatment.
- Preparation – The area is cleaned and, if needed, numbed with a topical anesthetic for comfort.
- Injection – Medication is carefully injected into the lesion using a fine needle.
- Post-Procedure Care – Mild discomfort or redness may occur, which usually subsides quickly. Patients are advised on care and follow-up if multiple sessions are needed.
Is It Safe?
Yes, intra-lesional infiltration is a safe and effective treatment when performed by experienced dermatologists. However, potential mild side effects include temporary pain, redness, or skin thinning at the injection site, which are usually self-limiting.
