Do's and Don'ts

Do's

  • Do cleanse your skin gently!

    Use a mild, non-irritating cleanser suited to your skin type. This will help remove dirt and excess oil without aggravating your skin or interfering with the healing process from your Kenalog injections.

  • Do stick to a consistent skincare routine!

    Continue a daily routine that includes gentle cleansing, toning, and moisturizing. Consistency is key when managing acne, even after receiving Kenalog injections.

  • Do eat a balanced diet!

    Healthy, clear skin starts from within. Focus on a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Minimize consumption of sugary, oily, or processed foods.

  • Do manage stress!

    Stress can be a major trigger for acne. After your Kenalog injections, find effective ways to manage stress through exercise, meditation, or relaxing hobbies.

  • Do monitor your progress!

    Keep track of how your skin responds to the Kenalog injections. If you notice any unusual changes or side effects, inform your healthcare provider immediately.

Don'ts

  • Don't pick or squeeze pimples!

    Resist the urge to pick at your acne, even after getting Kenalog injections. Picking can cause further inflammation, scarring, or infection.

  • Don't overuse acne treatments!

    Avoid overloading your skin with multiple acne treatments. This can irritate your skin and may cause more breakouts. Follow your healthcare provider's guidance.

  • Don't ignore your sunscreen!

    Always wear a non-comedogenic sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Sun exposure can make acne scars more noticeable and interfere with healing.

  • Don't engage in vigorous exercise right after treatment!

    Avoid intense workouts for at least 24 hours after your Kenalog injection to prevent irritation and disruption of the healing process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kenalog injections are a corticosteroid treatment designed to reduce inflammation and swelling caused by acne, particularly cystic acne. When injected directly into an inflamed acne lesion, Kenalog helps to flatten and shrink the pimple, reducing redness and discomfort while also promoting faster healing.

The effects of Kenalog injections can last anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on the individual's skin condition and how well they respond to treatment. For more persistent acne, multiple injections may be needed over time to maintain clear skin.

Common side effects include temporary redness, thinning of the skin at the injection site, and a possible change in skin texture. In rare cases, there could be further irritation or even scarring. It's essential to follow post-treatment care instructions and consult your provider if you notice any unusual reactions.

Many patients notice improvements within a few days to a week after receiving a Kenalog injection. Cystic acne may begin to shrink and heal more rapidly, and inflammation will typically decrease. However, the results can vary depending on the severity of your acne and how your skin responds to the treatment.

Kenalog injections can help improve the appearance of some acne scars by reducing inflammation and promoting healing. However, they are most effective for treating active cystic acne and inflammation. For more significant acne scarring, other treatments, such as laser therapy or chemical peels, may be recommended in addition to Kenalog injections.
