Kybella
Kybella Treatments
Kybella is an injectable that breaks down stores of fat that cause double chins. The double chin used to be incredibly difficult to target and remove, but now, there is Kybella. The very first injectable prescription medication that effectively reduces submental fat. After Kybella, your double chin will be gone and replaced with a younger, sleeker, and firmer neck contour.
And now, it is not just for double chin. Kybella can be used to treat other areas of the body. Speak with our specialist to determine what areas Kybella will work for you.
WHAT TO EXPECT WITH KYBELLA
Before starting treatment, your healthcare specialist will examine the area under and around your chin to determine if KYBELLA® is right for you. Then, your specialist will tailor your treatment to the amount of fat under the chin and your aesthetic goals.
FAQs
Kybella® is a prescription injection that was approved by the FDA for the reduction of fat that has accumulated under the chin in the jowls. It is given in a series of injections.
Whether Kybella® is right for you or not is a question of what is behind your double chin. Double chins can form due to fat deposits weighing down the skin, or they can form from excess, sagging skin. If fat deposits are the cause of your double chin, Kybella® is perfect for you.
However, if your double chin is more a factor of sagging, loose skin, you’d be better off with surgery to remove the excess skin and tighten the underlying support tissue.
Treatment can only be administered by a KYBELLA®-trained healthcare specialist. At each treatment, you will receive multiple small injections under your chin, and the injection process takes about 15 to 20 minutes. The exact number of injections will depend on the amount of fat you have under your chin and your desired profile.
Since everyone’s chin profile is different, the number of treatments varies from patient to patient. Your healthcare specialist will help determine how many treatment sessions you need based on the amount and distribution of your submental fat and your personal treatment goals. Each KYBELLA® treatment session is given at least 1 month apart, and you should not receive more than 6 treatments. In clinical studies, 59% of patients received 6 treatments.
After KYBELLA® treatment, you will likely have some swelling, bruising, or numbness under your chin. Be sure to inform your healthcare professional if you develop an uneven smile, facial muscle weakness, difficulty swallowing or injection site problems such as bruising, hair loss, open sores (ulcers), and damage and tissue cell-death (necrosis) around the injection site. Call your healthcare provider if you develop open sores or drainage from the treatment area.
