Alopecia after Kybella. Should I be as freaked out by this as I am?

ota457
I had my first Kybella treatment about 2.5 weeks ago and yesterday I realized that my beard has really noticeable patches in it around the injection site. I was warned by the injector that "some" hair loss was a possible side but this just looks awful. I look like I have mange. I'm going to have to ditch my bearded look and go clean shaven.  How long does something like this normally last? Finally, is there anything I can do to stimulate growth?
