We create a comprehensive treatment plan during your consultation. Based on that plan, we mark precise injection sites in a grid-like pattern on your neck. Multiple injections are needed at each treatment session, and the number varies depending on your needs. Most patients see the desired results after 2 to 4 treatments, which are scheduled at least a month apart, although this varies from patient to patient.

You can return to your daily activities, including work, immediately after the treatment. Swelling is common and some patients wear clothes such as turtleneck sweaters or scarves to camouflage the treatment area. Bruising, redness, discomfort, numbness, and a hardening in the area of the injections are the most typical side effects that patients experience.

KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, so results can be long lasting. However, excessive weight gain can compromise the outcome because fat cells that remain in your body can still enlarge. It’s wise to maintain a healthy lifestyle so your results last indefinitely.

Before injecting KYBELLA®, we typically numb the area with a topical anesthetic to help you remain comfortable during the treatment. We also offer PRO-NOX, which is a patient-controlled inhaled analgesia (50% oxygen and 50% nitrous oxide) for aesthetic procedures. It takes effect in seconds, offering immediate relief of pain and anxiety. However, there may be some soreness after injections are complete.

Patient experiences vary after KYBELLA® injections. The process triggered by the treatment is gradual, and the final results of the treatment won’t appear until the series of injections from your treatment plan are complete. You need to wait at least a month in between treatment sessions. A maximum of 6 treatments can be performed, however most patients get the results they want in 2 to 4 treatments. Results usually appear within a few weeks of your final treatment.
