Intralesional Steroid (ILS) therapy is a specialized dermatological procedure where medication is injected directly into a skin lesion. This method delivers a high concentration of medicine precisely where it is needed, minimizing side effects elsewhere in the body.
For Keloids, the medication breaks down the tough collagen fibers, making the scar softer and flatter while relieving pain and itching. For Alopecia Areata, it suppresses the immune system's attack on hair follicles, allowing hair to regrow.
The procedure takes only 10-15 minutes. You may feel a mild prick. Multiple sessions (usually 3-4 weeks apart) may be required depending on the severity of the condition.
