Abstract:
Intralesional corticosteroid therapy (ICT) is a recommended management strategy for various inflammatory hair loss disorders. Pain from ICT can limit the use of this treatment, particularly in younger people and those with needle phobia. We present data demonstrating that vibration assisted analgesia, is a safe, effective and easy to use technique, which minimises pain from ICT, allowing its use in a wider cohort of patients.
