Kybella injection caused hair loss in beard?

I have treated several men and have not seen this problem before. I doubt that the injection technique contributed to your hair loss, it is more likely just a side effect of the tissue reaction to the deoxycholic acid, the active ingredient in Kybella. Hair follicle can go into a quiescent state for a long time and it may take up to a year for them to renter a growth phase. Topical minoxidil and PRP injections into your neck may stimulate hair growth and would be worth pursuing.

I am sorry to hear that you have experienced Kybella induced hair loss. While the hair does typically grow back within 6 months, every individual is different. I still think it would prudent for you to schedule an appointment with your cosmetic dermatologist or surgeon to discuss.

Thank you for your question.  I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing hair loss after your Kybella treatment.  Unfortunately, this is a rare but known side effect of Kybella injections.  The exact mechanism of hair loss after Kybella is unclear, however I generally try to place my injections a little deeper in male patients to avoid any damage to their hair follicles. Although I have not seen it any of my own patients, the reports of hair loss I have reviewed have all been temporary, with regrowth occuring within 4-6 months.  Since your hair loss has persisted for over 6 months, it may be worthwhile to schedule an appointment with a cosmetic dermatologist to discuss additional treatment options to help your beard hair grow back sooner.  Best of luck!
