What is Kenalog injection in Dubai?
Kenalog is an intramuscular and subcuticular corticosteroid that provides relief from inflammation. The active triamcinolone acetonide reduces inflammatory processes that produce erythema, swelling, and excess collagen deposition. It softens and flattens elevated keloid and hypertrophic scar tissue. In cystic acne, nodules are shrinked along with reducing the painful sensation which also diminishes the inflammation of the Acne Scar Lesions.
What Happens during a Kenalog Injection?
| Step | What it is done |
| Examination | We look at the area, measure the scar or lesion, and discuss goals |
| Prep | Skin is cleaned; topical numbing is applied if needed |
| Injection | Small volumes of Kenalog are placed precisely into the affected tissue |
| Aftercare | We apply a soothing gel and give you simple home instructions |
