Allergy Injections for Hay Fever Relief
Struggling with relentless hay fever symptoms? If over-the-counter remedies aren’t working, an anti-allergy 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. A consultation will be required prior to any treatment being provided for hay fever relief. Weymouth-based, covering Dorset,

It is not suitable during pregnancy, while breastfeeding, or if you are immunocompromised or managing certain medical conditions.
You’ll need a consultation to confirm your suitability before treatment.
