KYBELLA

PREPARING FOR YOUR KYBELLA APPOINTMENT

  •  Avoid alcohol, aspirin, vitamin E, fish oil, non-steriodal anti-inflamatory medications like ibuprofen and Advil 3-5 days prior to treatment to decrease the risk of bruising. 

  • To avoid possible discomfort, you can take 1000mg of acetaminophen (Tylenol) one hour before your scheduled appointment. 

  • Plan on swelling and bruising. Make sure to have some over the counter antihistamine like Zyrtec at home to take for swelling and potential itching after treatment.  

  • You may apply topical Arnica or take oral Arnica as directed 3 days prior to treament to reduce the risk of bruising. 

  • Drinking 8 oz. of pineapple juice twice a day for 2-3 days before and 2-3 days after injections may also help with potential bruising. 

AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT

  • Expect swelling and redness. You may also experience bruising, pain and numbness. This can last 1-2 weeks.

  • You can ice the treatment area but be careful not to apply ice for extended times. 20 seconds on, 40 seconds off is a safe amount. 

  • Sleep with your head elavated the first 3 nights. 

  • Although adverse effects are very rare, if you have difficulty swallowing, asymmetry of your smile, scabbing or crusting of the injection sites, please take a picture and text 614-401-6363 or email teresa@simplicityaesthetics.com.

  • Do not scratch, pick, massage or manipulate the injection sites. 

Results are usually seen in 1-3 months. Multiple treatments are required for optimal results.
