    Default Kanolone(triamcinolone)

    Hi.

    I often visit my dermatologist for my regular acne treatment.
    I asked my doctor if she has solution for hair loss.
    She mentioned that they are using a stimulant/booster injection to help regrow hair.

    I found out that the drug she's using is KANOLONE (Triamcinolone acetonide) .
    This is the same drug used for acne treatment.

    I haven't find any article saying Kanolone can regrow hair.

    Any one familiar?

    thanks

    It is a Corticosteroid. I have heard of it being used to jump start hair regrowth in Alopecia Areata but not Androgentic Alopecia (MPB).

    Hi Dr. Glen.

    Would you know how effective it is?

    I do not think it will be very effective in treating male pattern baldness.
