Emergency Acne Injection

Breakouts don’t always happen at a convenient time. Whether you have a major event coming up or a deep, painful blemish that won’t budge, our Emergency Acne Injections provide a fast-acting solution to calm your skin and restore your confidence.


At Compass Light, we specialize in targeted treatments that address skin concerns at the source. Our intralesional acne injections are designed to bypass the surface of the skin, delivering healing medication directly into the site of inflammation for rapid results.

We are the South Shore’s trusted choice for emergency skin solutions, serving clients in Cohasset, Scituate, Hingham, and Norwell.


Perfect For:

  • Large Cystic Breakouts: Deep, stubborn bumps that topical treatments can’t reach.
  • Painful Under-the-Skin Blemishes: Reducing the pressure and discomfort of "blind" pimples.
  • Last-Minute Skin Emergencies: Ideal for clearing up your skin before weddings, photoshoots, or special events.

How We Rapidly Clear Your Skin


This treatment uses a small, targeted injection of a specialized anti-inflammatory solution. By delivering the medication directly into the acne lesion, we can shut down the inflammatory response almost instantly.


  • Best For: Reducing redness, flattening raised cysts, and preventing potential scarring from deep lesions.
  • Speed: Most clients notice a significant improvement in swelling and size within 24 to 48 hours.



LED Light Therapy

Advanced Healing & Redness Reduction. For the best results, we recommend pairing your injection with LED Light Therapy. The specific wavelengths of light work to further soothe the skin, kill acne-causing bacteria, and accelerate the body's natural healing process.


  • Best For: Enhancing the results of your injection and supporting long-term skin health.
  • Benefit: Reduces post-breakout downtime and promotes a more even skin tone.

How long does it take to see results?

While every skin type is different, most clients see a visible reduction in swelling, redness, and pain within 24–48 hours after the injection.

Can I get this done right before an event?

Yes! This is our go-to "red carpet" treatment. However, we recommend booking 2–3 days before your event to allow the medication full time to flatten the lesion and for any minor injection-site redness to fade.

Is the injection painful?

The treatment involves a very tiny needle and is over in seconds. Most clients describe the sensation as a quick pinch, followed by immediate relief from the pressure of the cyst.

How much do Acne Injections cost?

The treatment is $75 for a single lesion and $25 for each additional lesion treated during the same session.
