Steroid shot for rash 5 days after kybella and Sculpsure - will my results be diminished?

Each of these procedures works differently to dissolve fat, and the resultant inflammation is important to tissue healing and tightening, but the short-lived influence of a steroid shot (about 3 days for the typical Celestine shot) should not be enough to change your result. We often give corticosteroids for a few days if the swelling from Kybella is more than expected and have noted no adverse effects. 

Thank you for your question dipash1101. I am sorry to hear about your
situation. Kybella is the first and thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical
injectable treatment for the double chin. SculpSure is a non-invasive body contouring device using infrared light from a laser. Theoretically the inflammatory process that occurs after a Kybella treatment stimulates collagen formation to tighten the skin. Steroids work as anti-inflammatory medications. Therefore there may be a possibility that there may be reduced tightening in the area. With SculpSure the inflammatory process helps remove the fat cells so anti-inflammatory medications may possibly slow this down. If my patient had a steroid shot after such treatments I would tell her not to worry. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
