Reduction of Inflammation
Triamcinolone acetonide is a potent corticosteroid that effectively reduces inflammation associated with cystic acne. It can quickly decrease swelling, redness, and pain around the cystic lesions.
Speedy Healing
By reducing inflammation, Kenalog injections promote faster healing of cystic acne lesions. This can lead to a quicker resolution of the painful nodules and a smoother recovery process.
Pain Relief
Cystic acne can be extremely painful due to the deep inflammation and pressure on surrounding tissues. Kenalog injections can provide significant pain relief by reducing inflammation and easing discomfort associated with cystic lesions.
Prevention of Scarring
Cystic acne lesions are more prone to causing scars due to their depth and severity. By reducing inflammation and promoting faster healing, Kenalog injections may help minimize the risk of scarring and improve overall skin appearance.
Long-Lasting Effects
A single Kenalog injection can provide relief from cystic acne inflammation for several weeks to months, reducing the frequency of treatments needed compared to other interventions.
Kenalog injections can be used in combination with other acne treatments, such as topical retinoids, antibiotics, or oral medications like isotretinoin, to enhance therapeutic outcomes for severe cystic acne cases.
