KYBELLA®, a groundbreaking injectable treatment, targets submental fat—commonly known as the “double chin.” This innovative nonsurgical procedure offers a solution for those seeking to refine their profile and reduce the appearance of fullness. It is the only FDA-approved, nonsurgical remedy for undesired fat accumulation beneath the chin. Studies have demonstrated that many patients experience significant and lasting improvement from Kybella, underscoring the treatment’s effectiveness. This method offers a unique solution for addressing chin fullness without surgery. As a part of our MedSpa services, we offer Kybella as a non-invasive treatment solution.
Kybella Explained
Kybella® employs synthetic deoxycholic acid to mimic the body’s natural fat breakdown process. Through a series of injections, it disintegrates fat cells beneath the chin.
Once injected, Kybella® disrupts fat agents, leading to the breakdown of these cells. The body’s immune cells then promote collagen production. This process halts fat storage and, combined with tissue tightening, reduces the appearance of a double chin.
Because the fat cells are destroyed, Kybella offers permanent results.
Is Kybella Right for Me?
An ideal candidate for Kybella® injections is someone in good overall health who is concerned about the appearance of their chin or neck. A double chin can result from genetics, weight gain, or aging, with declining skin elasticity and weakened neck muscles playing significant roles. While some individuals may notice these changes as early as their twenties, others may see them later. Our approach customizes treatments to meet the unique needs of each individual, aiming to boost confidence in your appearance at any age.
In contrast to more invasive options like chin surgery (genioplasty), which tackles issues such as a receding chin, misalignment, or excess fat, Kybella offers a nonsurgical solution. It works by encouraging the lymphatic system to identify the destroyed fat cells as waste. Over time, the lymphatic system collects, processes, and eliminates these fat cells from the body, making this option ideal for anyone looking for a non-invasive alternative to transform the appearance of their chin.
What Can I Expect From Kybella Treatment?
Before your treatment, we will ensure you are a good candidate for Kybella®, which involves discussing your medical history and any prior cosmetic procedures on your face, neck, or chin. We will also examine your chin area and discuss your goals to tailor treatment to your needs and preferences.
During the procedure, we will numb the treatment area and mark the injection sites with dots, injecting each dot from the same Kybella syringe. These injections, roughly 1 centimeter apart, vary based on the amount of chin fat and your desired outcome. Patients typically receive about 20 shots, with some getting as many as 50 shots. Most individuals require at least two or three sessions to achieve the intended result. These treatments are generally spaced around 4 to 6 weeks apart for an effective treatment regimen.
Kybella offers a shorter recovery period than surgery, appealing to those seeking lower risks. It’s a viable option for individuals unsuitable for facial plastic surgeries like liposuction or neck lifts. Little preparation is needed for this nonsurgical procedure.
