Kenalog Injection
At Modern Med, we perform effective Kenalog Injection treatments for patient’s who’d like to:
- Quickly treat large bumps in the inner layers of the skin
- Get visible results within 4-8 hours
- Dissolve acne cysts without damaging the surface of the skin
- Prevent scarring from severe cystic acne
If you have severe cystic acne that causes aches, you’ll get the most benefits from this procedure. To determine if this treatment is the most suitable option for you, you’ll meet with one of our nurses and do an in-depth consultation, where we discuss your medical history and skin concerns. If you have a medical history of triamcinolone allergy or have an active skin infection, then Kenalog Injections aren’t for you.

(Kenalog) Triamcinolone is a medication that has strong anti-inflammatory properties. When injected into the cystic acne, it automatically reduces the redness and inflammation and flattens the lesion, so the skin begins to heal instantly. While it’s not a treatment for chronic acne, it reduces imperfections such as inflammation, nodules, and cysts caused by blemishes. Its primary function is to treat excessive inflammation and acne problems, and it’s not a preventative method. The quick results on dissolving cystic acne conditions make it the most preferred option for patients.
