Injecting Kenalog into scars

• 1

  Medical professionals wipe off the scar to be injected with an antiseptic solution. It is important to use a mild solution of the antiseptic, mainly owing to the possibilities of worsening the scar or the acne.

• 2

  Medical professionals may use Dermo-jet, an instrument for injecting the Kenalog solution. Multiple injections will require adequate spacing (but not too long) for the wheals (scars or acne) to diminish in redness.

• 3

  It is essential to administer or inject the entire scar in one sitting. Kenalog injections typically take one sitting, allowing the patient to get over with the requisite number of injections on day one. A medical professional carries out 25-30 injections as Kenalog treatments in one day.

• 4

  Depending on the severity of the scar or acne, you may need a second sitting two weeks later. However, it is difficult to determine the effects of the treatment during the first sitting. A history of the previous treatment may be necessary for the second sitting.
