Kybella is an injectable treatment that destroys fat cells under the chin.
Kybella is administered as a series of injections to the treatment area under the chin, destroying fat cells and producing gradual results. Everyone’s chin profile is different, so your physician will tailor* treatment to you. The number of treatment sessions will vary based on the amount of fat under the chin and your treatment goals.
CoolSculpting® employs a process known as Cryolipolysis. (“Cryo” = cold + “lipo” = fat cells + “lysis” = cell death and removal.) During treatment, stubborn fat deposits are subjected to controlled cooling.
The controlled cooling safely penetrates the skin. Subcutaneous fat cells begin to freeze. This ruptures the cell’s membrane. The ruptured fat cells are flagged for apoptosis –cell death and removal.
Over the passage of several weeks, the body’s immune system gathers the demolished fat cells. Frozen fat cells ultimately exit the body as waste. These fat cells cannot return or be replaced.
Over time, our face and neck begins to lose the definition we may have had when we were younger. Gravity starts to pull the face and neck downwards as skin becomes more lax. This brings about noticeable changes and signs of aging in our profile and overall look.
Many different factors contribute to this– age, genetics, hormones, and weight fluctuations are just a few common causes. Our body also becomes more resistant to diet and exercise as we age, which can make changes even harder. And even those who maintain a healthy weight may experience a hard-to-get-rid-of double chin due to other issues with aging mentioned above.
Women especially deal with excess submental fullness no matter how healthy their lifestyle is.
It can become quite disheartening to experience excess fat around the jaw, chin, or neck, because it can make you look and feel older than you are. It’s typically not an area that you can naturally target unfortunately.
There are of course surgical approaches that you can take to treat submental fullness and restore your youthful profile. Surgery is not always the best option as it’s more invasive and expensive and requires a substantial amount of recovery time.
KYBELLA® may be the right treatment solution for you if you’re looking for a non-surgical approach to treating your double chin, defining your jawline, and improving your overall profile. It’s the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells in the treatment area under the chin.
KYBELLA® would work for you if you are experiencing:
During your initial consultation, our team will evaluate your individual concerns and recommend a personalized treatment plan with your aesthetic goals in mind. Every person’s skin condition and stage of aging is quite different, so the exact number of treatments recommended will depend on your consultation.
Each injection treatment can take around 15-20 minutes, but each treatment session is spaced out a month apart. For optimal results, 4-6 treatment rounds are usually necessary.
The main benefit of KYBELLA® is that it destroys the fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fat under the chin. Once they are destroyed, these cells can no longer be stored or accumulate fat again in the same area. Additional treatment won’t usually be required again, but it may take weeks to see the full results.
Any board-certified dermatologists or aesthetic specialists must be specially trained and certified in KYBELLA®. At each treatment session, a prescription solution is administered through a tiny needle across the treatment area.
Our experienced team at DermatologyExperts will walk you through each step of the consultation and treatment process and ensure this treatment approach is the best choice for you and your aesthetic goals.
