Treatment of steroid atrophy with hyaluronic acid filler

Intralesional steroids are frequently used after surgical reconstruction to treat abnormal wound healing, including hypertrophic scarring, keloid formation, flap trapdoor deformity, and excess scar tissue. Steroid-induced atrophy is a well-known complication of intralesional steroid use and, although typically self-limited, can be distressing to patients. This case report describes the successful treatment of cutaneous atrophy on the face secondary to an intralesional steroid injection using hyaluronic acid filler.
