Can I use a neck firming cream the day after my Kybella treatment?

Question

I don't want to do something to interfere with the process of the treatment. I had been using Perricone Cold Plasma sub-d neck and didn't know how long I should wait to resume my regimen.

Yes, you can use a neck firming cream after your Kybella treatment. The neck firming cream should not interfere with Kybella.

You certainly can!!
The best neck creams I have found are NeoCutis's Micro-(small molecule technology) Neck Firming Cream and SkinRevision's NectiFirm Advanced.  
Note: my staff and I have tried a LOT of neck-firming products.  We were unanimous in saying these two were the best.  We give products a two-month (one skin cycle) trial period and do photographic before and after shots, plus give each other assessments on change.

Hello. Thank you for your question. Using a neck firming cream the day after Kybella is fine. The only thing you want to avoid is any type of anti inflammatory medications such as Aleve, Advil, or Aspirin.

Yes, it is acceptable to use a neck cream after Kybella. I'm glad you are taking care of your skin at home. Home care combined with in office treatments is a great combination.

forgive me  fort a perhaps cynical approach but it is highly likely but your neck firming cream will have no effect therefore it should not interfere with any other treatment.  To be sure please talk to your provider. Best, Mats Hagstrom M.D.

Kybella is injected with very small needles and the injection sites close up almost instantly. There is no reason you can't use a neck cream. However, just know that very few neck creams have any ability to do anything other than moisturize. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and
