Redefining aesthetics with proprietary techniques, bespoke care, and an uncompromising commitment to natural results.
Before your Kybella appointment, please review the timeline below. Following these steps helps minimize bruising and swelling and supports the best possible result. Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup, and hair secured away from your face. If helpful, please bring photos of yourself in normal settings without filters — both photos you do and don’t like — so we can better understand your goals.
A note on results: Kybella works best for those who maintain a stable, healthy weight. While the treated fat cells are permanently destroyed, significant weight gain after treatment can produce new fat cells and reduce or undo your results.
Please avoid scheduling important events within four weeks of your appointment. Swelling and bruising can last up to 3 weeks, and it may take up to a full month to settle completely.
Avoid dental appointments for 2 weeks before and after your visit.
To help minimize bruising and swelling, begin avoiding blood-thinning medications, foods, and supplements — unless prescribed for a medical condition.
Common blood-thinning items to avoid include:
If you regularly use pain relievers, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is safe to use, as it does not thin the blood. Always consult your physician before making changes, and avoid Tylenol if it is contraindicated with your medical history or current medications.
Begin taking Arnica to help minimize bruising and swelling, unless you are allergic or it is contraindicated with any of your medications or medical conditions (including high blood pressure). Arnica is available in our office, at Vitamin Shoppe, or on Amazon. Please follow the dosage instructions on the label, and consult your provider or physician if you are unsure whether it’s appropriate for you.
Avoid alcohol, as it can increase the risk of bruising.
After your treatment has fully settled, please reach out by phone (610-393-1253) or email and let us know if there is anything we can do to improve your results or experience.
