Description: Triamcinolone is a steroid that works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body called inflammatory cytokines. These cytokines act as signalers to tell your immune system how to react to potentially harmful foreign substances such as allergens, bacteria, and viruses. By stopping this action from being triggered, allergens and Irritants are not trigger - able and can be lessened or completely removed from the skin (face). This reduction in irritation and inflammation will encourage longer lasting results throughout treatment, including acne scars fading and elastin collagen gaining strength.
