Trusted Expertise. Real Relief.

NYC's only clinic dedicated exclusively to acne, founded by Dr. Amy Wechsler - dual board-certified in dermatology and psychiatry - with licensed clinicians delivering precise pimple shots and same-day care.

Why Pimple shots Work

A low-dose steroid injection is placed directly into a deep, inflamed acne cyst to reduce swelling, pain, and redness. Perfect for those painful, under-the-skin breakouts. 


Initial improvement often appears in 2-8 hours, with continued flattening over 24-48 hours. Makeup sits better as swelling drops.

Pimple Shots FAQ

A low-dose steroid injection is placed directly into a deep, inflamed acne cyst to reduce swelling, pain, and redness. Perfect for those painful, under-the-skin breakouts. 

Initial improvement often appears in 2-8 hours, with continued flattening over 24-48 hours. Makeup sits better as swelling drops.

Bottom line: Safe when done properly, with minimal discomfort and rare side effects like small divots. The needle is small, and a cold compress can help.

Cystic lesions rarely express material, and squeezing raises scarring risk. A professional injection calms inflammation without trauma.

Wait at least one week before treating the same spot again to let the medicine work and limit risk.

$100 per session for up to 3 injections. Need more than 3 spots treated? Our Pimple Plus session covers additional injections for $150. No consultation fees, no hidden costs.
