Kenalog Shot

A Kenalog shot, also known as a triamcinolone acetonide injection, is a powerful anti-inflammatory treatment specifically designed to reduce inflammation and improve the appearance of scars and various skin conditions. Kenalog shots use a fine needle injection to deliver medication directly into the affected area, offering immediate and precise results.

Why Choose a Kenalog Shot?

Kenalog shots offer significant benefits for individuals looking to reduce scars and alleviate inflammatory skin conditions:

• Rapid Inflammation and Scar Reduction: Provides fast-acting relief from inflammation and reduces the appearance of scars, including keloids and hypertrophic scars, by flattening and softening the scar tissue.

• Targeted Treatment: Delivers medication directly into the scar or inflamed area, offering targeted treatment to minimize scar formation, improve skin texture, and promote healing without affecting surrounding tissue.

• Effective for Acne Scars: Helps to reduce the size and redness of acne cysts and scars, often showing visible improvement within 24 to 48 hours, preventing further scarring and enhancing skin clarity.

• Minimizes Keloid and Hypertrophic Scar Tissue: Softens and flattens raised scars such as keloids and hypertrophic scars, improving the skin’s appearance and texture over time.

• Long-Lasting Relief and Scar Improvement: Provides extended relief from symptoms and continued improvement of scars, with results lasting several weeks to months depending on the condition.

• Minimally Invasive with Immediate Results: The procedure involves a simple injection with minimal discomfort and downtime, allowing you to see improvements quickly and return to your daily routine immediately.

Our Approach

At Qazi Cosmetic Center, we offer a comprehensive and patient-focused approach to Kenalog shot treatments:

• Consultation: During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your scars and skin condition, discussing your concerns to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to achieve the best possible results.

• Precise Injection Technique: We utilize advanced techniques to ensure precise delivery of Kenalog directly into the scar tissue or inflamed area, minimizing discomfort and optimizing results. The procedure is performed in-office using a fine needle for targeted and controlled application.

• Comfort and Safety: The procedure typically takes only a few minutes and is designed to be as comfortable as possible, with minimal downtime and immediate relief from symptoms and visible scar improvement.

The Procedure

Kenalog shots are a quick and straightforward procedure, typically completed within a few minutes. The process involves:

1. Assessment and Preparation: Your provider will assess the scar or affected area and determine the appropriate dosage of Kenalog based on the size and type of scar or skin condition.

2. Injection: A small amount of Kenalog is injected directly into the scar tissue or inflamed area using a fine needle, delivering powerful anti-inflammatory medication to reduce scar size, flatten raised areas, and improve skin texture.

3. Post-Treatment Care: After the injection, you may be advised to apply a cold compress to the treated area to reduce swelling and discomfort. No downtime is required, and you can resume your normal activities immediately.

Recovery and Results

Most patients experience rapid relief from inflammation and notice improvements in scar appearance within 24 to 48 hours following a Kenalog shot. Any mild redness or swelling at the injection site typically subsides within a few hours. The effects of the treatment can last several weeks to months, depending on the severity of the scar and the individual’s response to treatment. Multiple treatments may be recommended for optimal scar reduction and skin improvement.
