It can offer a solution for those seeking to eliminate their double chin without invasive surgery. Exploring this innovative treatment can help reduce submental fat and improve your profile.
What Is Kybella?
Kybella is an injectable therapy containing deoxycholic acid. It is a chemical found naturally in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
When injected into the area beneath the chin, Kybella targets and destroys fat cells. It then gradually gets metabolized and eliminated by the body. This reduction in fat helps to contour and slim the appearance of the chin and jawline.
How Does Kybella Work?
Kybella works by directly targeting fat cells in the double chin area. During the procedure, a series of small injections are administered into the submental fat. Once injected, Kybella’s active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, disrupts the membrane of fat cells, effectively destroying them.
Over time, the body naturally processes and eliminates these fat cells which results in a more sculpted and refined appearance under the chin. Most patients need between 2 to 6 sessions, spaced about a month apart.
Benefits of Kybella
Kybella can provide an effective alternative to surgical procedures like liposuction or a neck lift. Once Kybella destroys fat cells, they do not regenerate. The fat reduction achieved with Kybella can be permanent, as long as you maintain a stable weight.
Moreover, most patients experience only minor side effects, such as swelling or bruising, and can return to their daily activities within a day or two of treatment.
Is Kybella Right for You?
Kybella is ideal for individuals with moderate to severe submental fat who are looking for a non-surgical solution. However, it’s important to have realistic expectations. Kybella is not a skin-tightening treatment, so if loose skin is the primary concern, other treatments may be necessary.
