Kybella® – Double Chin Reduction

What is Kybella?

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin. It contains a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.

How Kybella Works

Kybella works by targeting and destroying fat cells under the chin. Once these cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, resulting in a noticeable reduction of fullness and an improved chin profile. The body naturally eliminates the dead fat cells through its metabolic processes.

Benefits of Kybella

• Non-Surgical: Kybella is a non-invasive treatment, eliminating the need for surgery and associated downtime.
• Permanent Results: Once the fat cells are destroyed, they do not return, providing lasting results.
• Customized Treatments: Each treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs and aesthetic goals.

What to Expect During the Treatment

• Consultation: Your treatment journey begins with a thorough consultation to assess your needs and determine if Kybella is right for you.
• Treatment Session: During the session, a series of small injections are administered under the chin. The number of injections and sessions required varies based on your desired results.
• Duration: Each session typically takes about 15-20 minutes.
• Comfort: Our skilled practitioners ensure the process is as comfortable as possible, using local anesthesia or ice packs to minimize discomfort.

Aftercare Tips

• Swelling and Bruising: Swelling and bruising are common and usually subside within a few days. Applying ice packs can help reduce these effects.
• Avoid Strenuous Activity: For the first 24-48 hours post-treatment, avoid strenuous activities to minimize swelling and bruising.
• Follow-Up: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and determine if additional sessions are needed.
• Hydration: Stay well-hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to support your body's natural healing process.
