The injection is a single or double dose of Kenalog (40mg / 80mg). This depends on the severity of symptoms or size of the person.

All hay-fever injections are administered in the gluteal muscle; this is confirmed by ultrasound to ensure optimal benefit.

Hay fever is similar to every other allergic response in that the immune system will attempt to remove the foreign substance causing the symptoms listed above. However, pollen is harmless to your health and the allergic response is your immune system overreacting. There is currently no cure for hay fever, although the symptoms can be managed effectively with a variety of treatments including anti-histamine tablets, nasal sprays, eye drops, Kenalog™ injections or immune therapy.

Benefits are generally noticed from the first day of injection; however, it may take several days for the full effect to be noted. Most people will obtain four weeks of improvement from a single injection. The injection can be repeated after four weeks if symptoms return. The Kenalog™ injection is a very convenient method of managing hay fever symptoms with or without the use of tablets or nasal sprays each day.

For anyone considering this treatment, at Facetherapy NI, we offer free consultations. During a consultation, the problem area or the area to be enhanced would be discussed. Different options and the advantages would be highlighted, and what to expect in terms of any minor discomfort or slight bruising. Before and after photographs of previous clients will be shown and the customer would be reassured of the highest level of professional care and safety standards that are upheld at Facetherapy NI as well as benefiting from my years of professional experience and expertise.

Once administered the medication will suppress the excessive inflammatory response associated with hay fever. A single injection can provide relief for up to 3 months.
