Hello! Tomorrow I'm going in for my second round of Kybella injections. Is it okay to have some beard stubble or do I need to shave it off completely? Just curious since beard grown usually helps reduced the appearance of the swelling. Any information/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Answer: Do I need to be clean shaven before Kybella injection? I prefer not to have the patient shave a full 3 days before the Kybella injection. Fresh shaven skin could lead to defects in the epithelial layer and potentially increase the risks of infection. You should speak to your injector about your concerns.Best wishes,

Answer: Kybella Facts about Shaving & Results--add thermage, ultherapy, exilis, VASER, ThermiRF I recommend following up with your practitioner about their recommendations about shaving before Kybella. It isn't necessary to shave beforehand. Keep in mind, Kybella is good for dissolving fat under the chin, but a combination approach is needed to get the most improvement with non-invasive options. I recommend Kybella with thermage, ultherapy, exilis. VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF is an alternative for contouring the chin, if you're a candidate. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer
