I started accutane a week ago and wanted to see if it was ok if I were to get kybella. The doctor I consulted with thought it was fine, but I wanted to double check. Thanks!
Answer: Kybella & Accutane Honestly, there haven't been any studies done yet on the safety of using Kybella on patients who take Accutane. Personally, I would probably advise you to wait until you've been off the Accutane for at least 6 months before condsidering injections just to err no the side of caution. Hope this helps.Kindly,Kouros Azar

Answer: Accutane and Kybella Using Kybella should be fine if you are on Accutane, as targets the fat layer underneath. We do avoid dermabrasion in patients who have had Accutane for 6 months or longer after the Accutane is stopped because the Accutane dries up the glands deep in the skin and may slow the healing process, But Kybella should not be a problem.

Answer: Accutane and Kybella I am not aware of any contraindication to using Kybella in patients taking accutane. Accutane works to decrease the activity of the sebaceous glands in the skin. It can affect the skin's ability to heal after laser treatments, but Kybella is injected below the skin into the submental fat which it then dissolves. Nothing in the healing process for Kybella injections requires sebaceous gland activity.

Answer: Kybella and Accutane Thanks for your question. The short answer is this combination has not been evaluated in any sort of study. Although it's main effect is by shrinking sebaceous glands in the skin, Accutane is a systemic anti-inflammatory drug and thus it may impact wound healing by reducing the necessary inflammation needed to heal. Technically a Kybella treatment is creating a wound through lysis of cells. I think you would be better off to wait on the Kybella until several months after your Accutane treatment is completed.Lisa Vuich, MD
