Intralesional Steroid Injections (e.g., Triamcinolone) Cost in Korea
Intralesional steroid injections, commonly using Triamcinolone, are widely used in Korea to treat inflammatory skin conditions such as keloids, hypertrophic scars, alopecia areata, and autoimmune lesions. These injections are directly administered into affected tissue to reduce inflammation, swelling, and abnormal skin growth. Korean dermatology clinics offer this treatment as part of both cosmetic and medical skin management plans.
