Steroid Injections
Steroid Injections for Scarring and Acne, Kings Hill, Kent
We use steroid injections to treat both hypertrophic and keloid scars. The steroid used, usually Kenalog (Triamcinolone), is directly injected superficially into the scar. It acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory, suppressing the abnormal scar tissue and reducing its appearance. A course of about 6 injections is usually required for the most effective results.
Steroid injections work by breaking the bonds between collagen fibres, reducing the amount of scar tissue beneath the skin. Steroid injection treatments reduce the size of scarring by actively reducing the amount of scar tissue that develops.
