How Does Kybella Work to Reduce Submental Fat (Double Chin)?
Submental fat, commonly known as a “double chin,” can be difficult to eliminate, as it’s often resistant to diet and exercise due to genetics or aging. A popular non-surgical method for getting rid of this stubborn fat and giving you a more defined jawline is Kybella.
Kybella: What is it?
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable procedure that uses synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring chemical that aids in fat breakdown, to remove fat under the chin. A thinner profile results from Kybella’s injection-induced destruction of fat cells in the treated area.
How Kybella Operates
Several injections are made directly into the submental fat as part of the Kybella treatment. Here is an in-depth description of the procedure:
- Consultation and Planning: To determine whether Kybella is correct for you, a doctor analyzes your facial shape. Your unique goals are taken into consideration when a cosmetologist creates a treatment plan.
- Procedure for Injection: Kybella is injected into specific locations beneath the chin, where it starts to degrade the membranes of the fat cells. These cells can no longer store fat after it is destroyed.
- Natural Fat Elimination: Over the course of the following several weeks, the body progressively removes the broken-down fat cells.
- Long-Term Effects: Kybella produces long-lasting effects since it permanently destroys fat cells in the treatment area. Additional sessions are usually not required, when you obtain the desired outcomes, unless substantial weight gain results in the formation of new fat.
What Is the Required Number of Sessions?
The amount of fat in this area and the individual’s anatomy determine how many Kybella sessions are necessary. For some people may need up to six sessions for best outcomes, most people need 2-4 sessions with an interval of 1 month, each session typically lasts around 15-20 minutes.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
As the injections target the fat cells, patients may experience a warming sensation throughout the procedure. For your comfort specialist typically use a numbing cream. After that, it’s common to experience some bruising, redness, or swelling beneath the chin; this usually goes away in a few days. This transient edema shows that Kybella is attempting to reduce the fat. After 2-4 sessions, there is usually a noticeable improvement with full outcomes.
Benefits of Kybella for Double Chin Reduction
Kybella offers several advantages that make it a top choice for submental fat reduction:
- Non-Surgical Option: Kybella is a non-invasive alternative to traditional procedures like liposuction, offering a quicker recovery and no downtime
- Long-lasting effects are produced because fat cells cannot regrow after they are eliminated.
- Fast Sessions: Because each session is short, clients can quickly return to their regular activities.
- Natural-Looking Outcome: As fat is gradually reduced, the profile appears subtly improved.
