What Is KYBELLA®?
Submental fat can be extremely stubborn and often does not respond to even the strictest diet and exercise routine. This is where KYBELLA® can be helpful. The injectable is composed primarily of deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring substance in the human body that helps absorb and break down dietary fat.* KYBELLA® can destroy fat cells beneath the chin, resulting in noticeable reduction of submental fullness and a more defined jawline.
What Are the Benefits of KYBELLA®?
In the hands of our skilled medical spa team, KYBELLA® can:
- Boost confidence by improving jawline definition
- Significantly reduce the severity of a double chin
- Deliver long-lasting and natural-looking results
- Provide an ideal solution for those seeking a non-surgical, minimally-invasive procedure
What Does the KYBELLA® Treatment Entail?
Like most other medical spa treatments offered at our practice, KYBELLA® sessions are performed in-office and usually require little to no downtime. Injections typically only take 15-20 minutes, qualifying KYBELLA® as a popular “lunchtime procedure.” Although topical anesthetics are not usually needed, our team can administer them if you desire.
In general, patients undergo a maximum of six KYBELLA® treatment sessions, each spaced one month apart. That said, your ideal number of KYBELLA® treatments will depend on the amount of fat you wish to address.
Are There Any KYBELLA® Side Effects?
As with any cosmetic injectable, KYBELLA® may cause some side effects. These issues may include swelling, bruising, redness, and numbness. With this in mind, any side effects that do occur are usually temporary and should subside on their own. If you have any concerns about these phenomena, feel free to contact our office.
How Long Does KYBELLA® Last?
Results of KYBELLA® generally show up within four to six weeks after treatment. The effects are designed to be permanent, as once the fat cells underneath the chin are destroyed, they can no longer accumulate or store fat. With this in mind, the longevity of your effects may vary based on factors such as aging, genetics, and weight fluctuations. As with any cosmetic procedure, you are advised to consult with a qualified healthcare professional who can assess your specific situation and provide guidance on the number of sessions needed for optimal results.
How Much Does KYBELLA® Cost?
The cost of KYBELLA® can vary depending on the number of treatment sessions needed and whether additional medical spa services are included. During your consultation, we will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to achieve optimal KYBELLA® results. At that time, we will also provide a detailed estimate of the total cost of your care.
