Can kenalog injection be used to treat strip scar camouflaged using FUE?

Asked By:cy2000 in Los Angeles, CA

My strip scar is elevated, and I plan to fix it with kenalog injection. However, I fear cortisone injection can cause loss of transplanted hair on the scar.

Answer: Kenalog injection is a corticosteroid injection. It does not make the width of the scar smaller. It is used to flatten
