How Kenalog Injections Treat Acne?

Kenalog injections contain a potent anti-inflammatory active medication called Triamcinolone. The treatment causes the scars to flatten and diminish and even lightens darker scars in some cases. Kenalog injections target, manage, and treat acne cysts. They also target acne lesions safely and robustly, without damaging the skin. When the Kenalog is injected into acne scars, it automatically diminishes the redness, inflammation, and flattens the lesion. This allows the skin to heal instantly.

The cyst will be disinfected during the treatment before injections are administered through an ultra-fine needle, so there’s minimal discomfort. However, MiraMe Health offers a topical numbing cream to our patients to ensure optimal comfort. As a bonus, the session takes only a few minutes. Patients can receive these injections every 4-8 weeks, depending on the size and severity of the scar.

Is Kenalog Injections Right For You?

If you live with painful cystic acne or have hypertrophic or keloid scars that make you unhappy with your appearance, then Kenalog injections are right for you. However, individuals who have an allergy to Triamcinolone or active skin infection should not receive this treatment.

There is Zero Downtime
After injections, patients are likely to experience slight soreness at the injection site. However, since there’s no downtime following treatment, you can instantly return to your daily routine.

Results are Quick
Depending on the scar, improvement is usually visible a few weeks after the first injection, with some softening of the scar tissue noticed within a few days. Meanwhile, you can expect cysts to begin shrinking within 4-8 hours after injection, with results continuing to improve over the next several days.

Protection
Scar tissue is susceptible in the initial weeks or months following an injury. Therefore, if you form new scars, put on sunblock when going outside to avoid discoloration and reduce the risk of skin cancers.
