How Kybella works
- Our advanced practice providers will apply a topical numbing cream. Once you are numb they will clean the area and apply the Kybella injecting grid guide to your chin.
- The provider will then begin a series of small injections across the treatment area.
- You can expect mild to moderate swelling in the area being treated for approximately 2-3 days. Length of swelling varies from patient to patient and your provider will discuss this with you prior to treatment.
Kybella Pre-Treatment Tips
- Expect swelling – schedule your appointment accordingly. The more swelling you have, the better your results will be.
- Let your provider know if you have any Thyroid, swallowing, or neck issues.
- If exercising on the day of treatment, do it before your treatment.
- You cannot have irritation in the area being treated.
- Arnica supplementation can be started before treatment if desired.
