Kybella   is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a “double chin.” The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat.

How does Kybella work?

When injected into the area beneath the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells. Once the fat cells are broken down, they are gradually eliminated by the body’s natural processes, leading to a reduction in the appearance of a double chin. After the fat cells are destroyed, they cannot regenerate, providing long-lasting results.

What is the Treatment Process?

• Consultation: A consultation with a licensed professional is necessary to determine if Kybella is right for you.
• Procedure: The treatment is minimally invasive, involving a series of small injections directly into the submental fat area.
• Sessions: Multiple treatment sessions may be required, typically spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Most people need 2 to 4 sessions, but it can vary depending on the individual’s goals and the amount of fat to be treated.

When do you see results of Kybella? 

• Timeframe: Results are usually noticeable within 2 to 4 weeks after treatment. Full results typically appear after 2 to 3 months.
• Long-lasting: Once the fat cells are destroyed, they don’t regenerate, leading to permanent fat reduction in the treated area.

What are the Side Effects of Kybella? 

Some common side effects include:

• Swelling, bruising, redness, or numbness in the treated area.
• Temporary discomfort or a feeling of tightness under the chin.
• In rare cases, more serious side effects like nerve injury can occur, leading to difficulty swallowing or an uneven smile.

Considerations:

• Kybella is not suitable for people with loose skin, as it’s designed to target fat rather than improve skin laxity.
• It is important to choose an experienced practitioner, as incorrect injection technique could result in complications or unsatisfactory results.

Kybella is a good option for those looking for a non-invasive alternative to surgery (like liposuction or a neck lift) for reducing fat under the chin.
