The Kenalog Injections & 5-FU procedure is a combination treatment for keloids, which are thick scars that can form after a wound or injury.

Kenalog, a synthetic corticosteroid, reduces inflammation and shrinks the keloid, while 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), a chemotherapy drug, inhibits new blood vessel growth, further reducing the keloid’s size.

The procedure involves injecting small doses of both drugs directly into the keloid, typically every few weeks for several months. This non-invasive treatment is well-tolerated, with minimal side effects, and can effectively reduce keloid size, improve appearance, and alleviate symptoms.
