I am freaking out reading all of this. My dermatologist just injected my scalp about 20 times with Kenalog for female pattern balding to stimulate hair growth. She says that it is diluted. What makes me upset is that she just told me that this is our plan and we get good results with this and she just walked up to me with a syringe and needle. I stopped her long enough to ask how much it hurts and she just started injecting. After I was home I was angry at myself that I did not stop her and ask more questions but I really felt that she did not want to take any time with me. She did not inform me of any side affects or statistics. She did not even tell me the cost. I was not given the opportunity to make an informed decision. I did not even know what it was called until she was done. This does not seem ethical to me. I feel like a victim. Now I have to wait and worry what is going to happen to me in the next few months. Has anyone been given injections into their scalp? Please let me know.

no, why would she inform you of the cost? she figures your insurance will pay for it. no one really knows what their medical care costs these days. if we knew, we might demand more service for our dollar
