Kenalog Hay Fever Injection
At Aesthetics of Essex, hay fever treatment is carried out by a trained clinician experienced in professionally administering private hay fever injections, so you can relax knowing you’re in safe hands.
What are Hay Fever Injections?
Hay fever injections are used to take away the symptoms of severe hay fever, such as itchy eyes, sneezing and nasal congestion, providing fast and effective season-long relief. They’re used to treat severe hay fever when all other medications have been exhausted and proven unsuccessful. Kenalog injections contain a powerful steroid called triamcinolone acetonide 40mg/1ml, a corticosteroid that reduces the body’s inflammatory and allergic response.
Long-lasting seasonal relief
One single hay fever injection can suppress hay fever symptoms and keep them at bay for several weeks – the effects may even last the entire hay fever season. So, you can get on with your day-to-day without daily antihistamines.
Fast-acting
This treatment works fast to deliver quick relief from the effects of hay fever. After receiving their Kenalog hay fever injection, most patients notice a significant improvement within 24-48 hours.
Convenience
There’s no need to remember daily antihistamines and nasal sprays – you only need one appointment to last you for weeks. You also won’t have to worry about frequently applying eye drops when out and about.
Clinically-proven
Kenalog injections are clinically proven to be highly effective at reducing severe hay fever symptoms for many weeks or months. If you want a treatment with proven results, this could be the perfect option for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is suitable for Kenalog hay fever injections?
Hay fever injections are intended for adults who suffer from moderate to severe hay fever symptoms that can’t be relieved with over-the-counter antihistamines or even some prescribed medications. You’ll need to attend a consultation with us before treatment so that we can assess your suitability and you can ask any questions you may have.
How do hay fever injections work?
This treatment works by temporarily suppressing the immune system’s inflammatory response to pollen, reducing allergic responses commonly associated with hay fever, such as itchy eyes and a runny nose. A low dose is administered by a qualified clinician through an intramuscular injection in just a few seconds into the buttocks, gradually seeping into the bloodstream over a period of weeks.
Are there any side effects?
As with all corticosteroids, there is a small risk of side effects, which may include redness, skin dimpling at the injection site, changes in blood sugar levels and a dip in the immune system. Our clinicians will discuss all the potential side effects with you during an initial consultation – contact us today to book yours.
