🌿 Kenalog Injections for Hay Fever Relief

Struggling with relentless hay fever symptoms? If over-the-counter remedies aren’t working, a Kenalog injection might offer the relief you’ve been looking for.

At Weymouth Aesthetics Clinic, I offer Kenalog (Triamcinolone Acetonide 40mg/mL) injections to help manage severe seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) in those who have exhausted other treatment options. This is a prescription-only corticosteroid injection, administered intramuscularly, which works to reduce inflammation and ease hay fever symptoms for weeks — even months — at a time.
