Kenalog in Birmingham, Ann Arbor and Detroit

Alleviate Inflammation & Skin Conditions

 

Kenalog is a steroid injection commonly used in cosmetics to reduce inflammation in the skin and alleviate symptoms of a number of skin conditions.

With Kenalog injections, we can deliver a remedy to the very source of skin conditions. While topical solutions work from the outermost layers of skin inward, Kenalog injections are administered beneath the skin’s surface, where results will be more significant and more rapid. This treatment can also reduce the inconvenience and side effects associated with oral or topical medications.
