What are Kenalog Injections?

Who is an ideal candidate for Kenalog Injections?

Kenalog injections performed by the team at Kind Health Group help to both diminish the everyday pain associated with skin inflammation conditions and reduce the appearance of unsightly skin ailments. If you struggle with inflammatory conditions such as cystic or severe acne, hypertrophic scarring, psoriasis or keloids, and other treatments or therapies to address your issues have been unsuccessful, you may be a candidate for Kenalog injections in Encinitas, CA. However, if you have an allergy to corticosteroids or have had adverse reactions to steroid shots in the past, Kenalog injections may not be the right treatment for you.

How are Kenalog Injections performed?

At Kind Health Group, Kenalog injections are quick shots given through a needle, with the procedure taking no longer than 10 minutes to perform. The injection is administered directly at the site of the inflamed nodule or cyst. As a result, some pain or sensitivity may occur during the shot. Treatment plans and dosages vary based on condition and severity, so the number of injections and frequency of shots you may need will be determined during a consultation at our office in Encinitas, CA. For example, a treatment plan for cystic acne may involve a Kenalog injection administered approximately every six weeks for a number of months.

What can I expect after a Kenalog Injection?

A Kenalog injection is a brief, nonsurgical treatment performed at our office in Encinitas, CA. As such, patients who receive a Kenalog corticosteroid shot at Kind Health Group can expect to return to normal activities soon after injection. Individuals may experience some redness at the injection site. Side effects may include stomach ache, trouble sleeping, or higher blood sugar. Because Kenalog injections treat various types of inflammation, the time it takes to see results can differ by patient and treatment plan. In the case of cystic or severe acne, individuals may be able to observe relief within 24 hours.
