Kybella (Submental Fat Reduction)
The Kybella procedure also known as Submental Fat Reduction is a contemporary non-surgical option for people who want to get rid of fat deposits under their chins, which frequently give the appearance of a “double chin.” Genetics, ageing, weight increase and other factors can all contribute to this process and this area can remain problematic for a long time. Kybella uses a unique form of deoxycholic acid that aids in the breakdown of fat cells without the need for surgery. These provide a secure and efficient means of reducing fat deposits. Long-lasting effects and a more defined chin are possible with this procedure, which also improves the overall contour of the face with little recovery time.

* Results are usually visible within 4-6 weeks after the first treatment, as the body gradually processes and eliminates the broken-down fat cells. Full results may take a few months as the process continues.
How does Kubella work?
Deoxycholic acid is the active element which is used in the Kybella treatment. It is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies and is essential for the breakdown of fat in the digestive system. Deoxycholic acid is utilised in this technique to break down fat cells under the chin, which helps get rid of fat deposits that are hard to lose with diet and exercise alone.
The specialist during the procedure injects Kybella several times into the fat deposits under the chin. How many injections are necessary determines the quantity of fat and the patient’s specific needs. After injection, the deoxycholic acid starts to degrade the fat cells’ membranes, preventing them from holding onto or storing fat. After their destruction, fat cells are progressively removed from the body by the body’s metabolic processes. This process takes several weeks in which the body breaks down and removes the remnants of the fat cells.
The procedure’s outcome is permanent, because the damaged fat cells do not grow back. This implies that customers can have long-lasting effects at completion of the entire course of therapy, so long as they continue to lead a healthy lifestyle and keep a stable weight.
