Get Rid of Stubborn Acne with Kenalog Injections
Are you dealing with persistent acne? Kenalog injections at Glow Medical Aesthetics offer a swift and effective solution to help you achieve clear and radiant skin.
What Are Kenalog Injections?
Kenalog injections, containing the corticosteroid Triamcinolone, are designed to combat severe skin conditions like cystic acne. Triamcinolone reduces inflammation and calms the immune response, rapidly relieving acne symptoms. This treatment is particularly beneficial for individuals who have yet to find success with other methods, providing a reliable and targeted approach to managing stubborn acne.
How Do Kenalog Injections Work?
Kenalog injections are administered directly into the affected acne sites using a fine needle. This process, which is quick and relatively painless, allows the medication to reach deeper layers of the skin, where cystic acne typically originates. The inflammation and discomfort associated with acne are quickly alleviated by delivering the corticosteroid precisely where needed. The result is a noticeable reduction in acne lesions, often within a few days, offering a fast and efficient path to clearer skin.
