Did you know that over 2/3 of consumers are bothered by a double chin (submental
fullness)? If you’re one of the many who are frustrated with excess
fat under your chin, there’s good news! We can now help redefine
your neck contour nonsurgically with Kybella.
Kybella is a minimally invasive injectable treatment that effectively reduces
submental fullness without the need for surgery or anesthesia and involving
little-to-no downtime, making it a wonderful alternative to more invasive
procedures.
Kybella is FDA approved for the safe and effective treatment of excess
fat under the chin. The main component of Kybella is a non-human/non-animal
formulation of deoxycholic acid, a molecule that naturally occurs in your
body to help absorb and break down dietary fat. When injected directly
into moderate to severe pockets of fat cells under your chin, Kybella
effectively destroys the cells and prevents them from storing or accumulating
fat in the future. To avoid damaging surrounding tissue, it’s critical
that you choose an experienced, trained injector for your treatment.
With Kybella, patients can see dramatic results after just a few short
treatments—without a long recovery period, discomfort, or obvious
side effects. In studies, Kybella has shown high patient satisfaction
rates: almost 80% of patients were thrilled with the improved appearance
of their face and chin and reported an improvement in confidence!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Kybella?
Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring compound in our bodies
whose job is to dissolve fat. Kybella is the FIRST AND ONLY FDA-APPROVED
injectable drug to reduce submental fullness. That’s a long way
of saying that Kybella is a nonsurgical way to treat a double-chin.
How Does Kybella Work?
Kybella works by dissolving the fat cells in the treatment area. The fatty
contents are processed through your body like any other fat.
What Is the Kybella Treatment Like?
Kybella is an injectable treatment, meaning a tiny needle is used to place
Kybella exactly where it’s needed. Once you have your consultation,
and you and your provider agree that Kybella is an appropriate option
for you, they will mark the treatment area with a skin pencil. Then she
will numb the area with ice. The next step is having the temporary tattoo
grid applied to the treatment area. This is just like a child’s
tattoo and is easily removed. Finally, they will use a tiny needle to
inject the Kybella into specific points in the treatment area. The tattoo
is then washed off, and you are ready to go about your day.
What Can I Expect After My Kybella Treatment?
Most people will have swelling, redness, numbness, and tenderness to touch
for a few days after their Kybella treatment. You can also expect to feel
some firmness in the treatment area. Each additional treatment tends to
have less swelling, redness, and tenderness. You will start to see results
in about 3-4 weeks.
How Many Kybella Treatments Will I Need?
Most people will need 2-4 Kybella treatments to get to full correction.
Treatments are spaced at least 4 weeks apart.
Can I Use Kybella in Other Areas of My Body?
At this time, Kybella is only FDA-approved for double-chins.
