What Is Kybella?
Kybella is a non-surgical treatment that is used to reduce the appearance of submental fullness, also known as a “double chin.” The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps to break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the submental area, Kybella destroys fat cells, resulting in a more defined jawline and a reduction in the appearance of a double chin.
What Happens During The Treatment?
Kybella treatments are performed by a licensed healthcare provider and typically take between 15 to 20 minutes. The treatment is done through a series of small injections in the submental area, with the number of injections varying depending on the amount of fat and the desired results. The procedure is usually done in a series of 2 to 4 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Kybella is a safe and effective treatment for reducing the appearance of a double chin. It is FDA approved for use in adults and has been shown to result in a noticeable improvement in the appearance of the submental area in most patients. After the treatment, patients may experience some swelling and discomfort, but these side effects are usually mild and short-lived.
Kybella is not recommended for everyone. Patients with a history of difficulty swallowing, bleeding disorders, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid the treatment. Additionally, it is not recommended for those with excessive skin laxity or poor skin elasticity, as it may not be as effective in these cases.
