Kenalog Injections Specialist in Verona, NJ

Kenalog is a steroid-based anti-inflammatory injection used to treat deeply rooted skin conditions such as cystic acne, hypertrophic scars, and keloids. When injected directly into a lesion or raised scar, Kenalog:

• Reduces swelling, redness, and tenderness
• Shrinks cystic lesions within 24–72 hours
• Softens and flattens raised scars over time
• Helps restore smoother skin without invasive procedures

Dr. Alexander Rios administers each injection with medical precision and aesthetic sensitivity, ensuring minimal discomfort and natural-looking improvement tailored to your skin.

Kenalog injections are ideal for patients who:

• Suffer from deep, painful cystic acne that doesn’t respond to creams or antibiotics
• Have thick, raised scars after surgery, injury, or acne
• Experience recurring keloids, especially on areas like the chest, back, shoulders, or earlobes
• Need a fast, discreet solution before photoshoots, weddings, or professional appearances

Whether it’s your first cystic breakout or a scar you’ve had for years, Kenalog offers a clinically proven solution with minimal interruption to your routine.

Consultation

Dr. Rios will examine the area and determine if Kenalog is the best approach, often recommending a custom plan based on severity, location, and skin type.

The Injection

• Quick, in-office procedure: usually 10–15 minutes
• A fine needle is used to inject Kenalog into the lesion or scar
• Most patients describe it as a mild pinch, with no need for numbing unless desired

Recovery & Results

• No downtime: resume normal activities right away
• For acne: visible improvement often occurs in 1–3 days
• For scars: progressive flattening over a few weeks, with potential follow-up sessions every 4–6 weeks

Will one injection be enough?
It depends. Cystic acne often responds in one session, while keloids and hypertrophic scars may require multiple treatments for optimal flattening.

Are there side effects?
Kenalog is generally well-tolerated. In rare cases, you may experience temporary skin lightening or localized thinning of the skin. Dr. Rios uses conservative doses to minimize these risks.

Does it hurt?
Most patients report very minimal discomfort. We can apply a numbing agent if you’re sensitive or the treatment area is delicate.

Can this be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. For enhanced scar remodeling or acne care, we may recommend combining Kenalog with microneedling, chemical peels, PRP, or laser therapy.

Is it safe for all skin tones?
Yes—but in darker skin types, there is a slightly higher risk of temporary lightening, which we discuss and manage carefully during your consultation.
