I did one Kybella treatment 4 months ago. Did not see any change to be honest but got an awful ice burn from ice pack i used to reduce swelling. I now have dark brown spots and have tried bleach cream with no success. Anything else i can do? I am afraid they will get darker with sun. I regret doing this treatment.

Answer: PIH after treatment Thank you for your question chispa.8. Kybella is a great treatment to address the double chin. Most people require two to four treatments, sometimes up to six treatments. I tell my patients to plan on undergoing at least two treatments before assessing results. Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is seen in darker skin types and can occur after cuts, burns, sun exposure, laser treatments, ice, etc. PIH can be treated with a variety of topical products including hydroquinone, kojic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, vitamins C and E, arbutin, licorice extract, bearberry extract, and more. Treatments include IPL, fractional laser, and chemical peels. Strict sun avoidance and sunscreen are critical. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
