Kybella How Long Does It Take To Work?You should expect to see your final results about four to six weeks after your last treatment. The reason it takes time is that you need to wait for your body’s lymphatic system to get rid of the fat cells that Kybella has killed off. The younger and healthier you are, the more quickly your body tends to do this. Older people can take a bit longer.In fact, there are actually quite a few factors that will ultimately impact the timeline of your results. For example, smoking or drinking to excess are both hard on the lymphatic system and can mean that it will take more time for you to see results. If your cardiovascular system is in good shape through excellent fitness and a healthy exercise routine, you will see results more quickly. Even your level of hydration affects how quickly your lymphatic system can work!
What Is Treatment Like?The good news is that this isn’t a painful or uncomfortable process at all. The fine-gauge needle used to administer Kybella is so small that most people only feel a slight bit of pressure as the medication goes in under the skin. But if you want to be certain you feel nothing whatsoever, talk to us about using a numbing cream before we start. If you choose to use a numbing cream, your session will take about 15 minutes more as you wait for the topical anesthetic to go to work. What Should I Do After Treatment? There’s no long list of things you need to do after treatment, thankfully. For the most part, you will be able to go right back to your normal daily routine. However, there are a couple of things to either do or avoid doing for the first few days (and nights) after you have treatment. At night, be sure to sleep with your head slightly elevated. You should do this for about three nights.
During the day, be sure to moisturize and wear sunscreen. For the first couple of days after treatment, it’s also a good idea to gently wash the area at least once a day. Use lukewarm water and a mild soap, and don’t do any exfoliation or use any harsh skin treatments during this time.
