I have a consultation to possibly get Kybella next week. I currently have a beard and not sure if I need to shave it off to have it done. Is it not possible to inject with facial hair? If so, does it potentially have a negative impact on results?
Answer: Kybella and Beard! Great question, thank you for asking. Yes, you can be treated with Kybella if you have a beard. Usually the provider will look at the anatomical landmarks and feel their way around the beard by lightly pressing and feeling it then cleansing it. As long as this can be done, the beard can remain intact during treatment. A great benefit to having a beard is that it tends to mask the unavoidable swelling that temporarily occurs after the Kybella treatment. To be certain, I suggest having your preferred provider confirm this with you prior to treatment. Please find more information on this specific topic in my video listed below. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Kybella with a Beard Thank you for your question. It isn’t necessary to shave before a Kybella treatment, but it can make it easier for your doctor to mark and follow the grid for the injections. My best advice would be to talk to your doctor about their preference. Hope this helps.

Answer: Kybella for a Patient with a Beard Hi and thank you for your question! While shaving makes the job of your doctor easier, it is not absolutely necessary and the injection can still be performed. However, there are reports of some loss of facial hair following Kybella injection and hence you need to weigh your options carefully for reduction of fat under the chin area. I hope it helps and good luck!

Answer: Kybella with a beard? I prefer that my male patients shave before Kybella is administered. A temporary tattoo "grid" of dots is placed on the skin to allow us to space the injections accurately.

Answer: Administering Kybella to Patient With A Beard? Shave for Greater Accuracy With Kybella I would prefer that my patients shave before receiving Kybella. We use templates that fit against the submental skin. These guide our injections for greatest accuracy. A beard could interfere with the trajectory of the needle; I have had patients with beards trim them before injection to avoid this. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist will determine if you are a candidate for Kybella; you can speak with him or her at that time about their preferences regarding beards.
