Kybella Post-Care

Massage the treated area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days. A good way to remember this is to massage:
- as soon as you wake up
- at breakfast
- at lunch
- at dinner
- before bed
The massage should be of medium pressure and should not cause any intense pain in any way. There should be no pinching of the skin.
Arnica gel can be used starting 6-8 hours after your procedure to help your body heal the bruising and swelling. It is a good base to use for the massage.
It is normal to experience the following symptoms, which can last from several hours to fourteen (14) days, depending on the area treated and medications used:
- bruising
- redness
- itching
- soreness
- significant swelling
- nausea
Claritin can be used to help with itching if needed.
Drink at least 64oz of water daily, preferably more, the day of treatment. Continue for one (1) week after treatment.
Do not wash or take a shower for at least four (4) hours after your treatment.
Do not use any lotions, creams or make-up on the treated area for 6-8 hours after your treatment.
Do not take any supplements until 48 hours after your procedure.
Avoid exercise for 48 hours – exercising causes you to sweat, which will decrease the effect of the solutions that have been injected into your tissue.
