KYBELLA
Kybella is a cutting-edge, FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. This non-surgical solution helps contour and define the jawline by targeting and destroying fat cells, providing a slimmer and more youthful appearance.
HOW KYBELLA WORKS
Kybella’s active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
Here’s how Kybella works:
Injection: Kybella is injected directly into the submental fat beneath the chin.
Fat Cell Destruction: The deoxycholic acid in Kybella breaks down the cell membranes of fat cells, causing them to die.
Natural Elimination: Over time, the body naturally metabolizes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin.
BENEFITS
Non-Surgical: Kybella offers a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures like liposuction, with minimal downtime.
Permanent Results: Once the fat cells are destroyed, they do not return, providing long-lasting results.
Customized Treatment: Each treatment is tailored to the individual’s unique chin profile and aesthetic goals.
Improved Confidence: A more contoured jawline can enhance your overall facial profile and boost your self-confidence.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR VISIT
Consultation: During this session, your chin profile and aesthetic goals will be assessed to create a personalized treatment plan.
Treatment Sessions: Kybella treatments typically consist of multiple sessions, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. The number of sessions required varies based on the amount of submental fat and your desired results.
Results: Results are gradual and can be seen within 2-4 treatment sessions, with optimal results typically visible after 6 treatments. The reduction in submental fat is permanent, as the destroyed fat cells cannot regenerate.
POST-TREATMENT CARE
After your Kybella treatment, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, or numbness under the chin, which typically resolves within a few days to a week.
To ensure optimal results, follow your provider's aftercare instructions, which may include:
Avoiding Strenuous Activities: Refrain from intense physical activity for a few days post-treatment to minimize swelling.
Applying Ice Packs: Use ice packs to reduce swelling and discomfort.
Staying Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your body metabolize the destroyed fat cells.
