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.

About this treatment
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.
The steroid works by suppressing the abnormal scar tissue, reducing swelling and flattening the scar out. This treatment will not remove the entire scar but can dramatically reduce its appearance.
The scar and surrounding skin will be cleaned and the steroid injected directly into the scar tissue using a fine needle.
This treatment may cause some discomfort, in particular a stinging sensation when the injection is made.
Anyone with hypertrophic or keloid scars.
