What is Intralesional Therapy?
Intralesional is a popular therapy where you inject solution into lesions to enhance the appearance and alleviate conditions such as pain and itching. The procedure comes with its set of advantages, from treating ingrained conditions to clearing exclusively the area where the solution is applied. Intralesional therapy is primarily administered to treat excess scar tissue, acne cysts and alopecia areata. At Nova cosmetology, our skin specialists recommend Intralesional therapy to treat a variety of skin conditions.

Intralesional therapy for Keloids Scars
When your skin gets injured, you will see scar tissue covering up the wounded area to repair and protect the region. Sometimes, you may also find hard growth also known as keloids. In some cases, the keloids can become even larger than the real wound. These types of wounds are mostly found on areas like chest, shoulders, earlobes and cheeks. However, it’s possible to develop keloids in any part of your body. While keloids are not particularly detrimental to health, it could be a cause of concern for cosmetic reasons.
