Kybella is taking the aesthetic industry by storm. This quick non-surgical treatment treats your double chin (submental fat) and other small pockets of fat on the body. Influenced by factors such as aging, genetics, and weight gain, submental fat is often difficult to reduce through diet and exercise alone. Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved non-surgical treatment to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe submental fat.
The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid is a naturally-occurring molecule that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat in the body. Administered through a series of injections, Kybella effectively reduces fat cells, preventing the storage or accumulation of fat. For this reason, Kybella is considered a permanent, non-surgical treatment option.
Extraneous submental fat can be frustrating. If you’re bothered by fullness under your chin, schedule a consultation to discuss your options. Minimally invasive and quick, Kybella is an excellent option for those looking to treat their double chin without surgery. We can also use Kybella to treat stubborn fat in the abdomen and around the bra line.
Our medical professionals will work with you to design a customized treatment plan to improve the profile of your neck and chin. During your treatment, the esthetician will mark out the area being treated with injections. A numbing agent may be used to make the procedure more comfortable (most patients report only mild discomfort).
Multiple injections with a small, fine needle will be made into the fatty tissues under the chin. If needles aren’t your thing, don’t worry – the entire procedure only lasts a few minutes. You may experience warmth and swelling following your treatment, but it will fade.
