Are you tired of the persistent fat under your chin that won’t seem to go away, no matter how much you diet or exercise? If so, you’re not alone. Submental fullness, often called a “double chin,” can be a common concern for many people. Fortunately, there’s a non-invasive solution to this problem: Kybella.
This post will explore the benefits and what to expect from Kybella, who it’s suitable for, how it works, and important safety information.
Let’s dive into the world of Kybella and learn how to say goodbye to your double chin.
Understanding Kybella
Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to eliminate chin fat, also known as submental fullness. This condition can result from various factors, including genetics, aging, weight fluctuations, and dietary choices. Fortunately, Kybella offers a safe and effective way to eliminate that unwanted fat.
Kybella’s versatile nature goes beyond addressing chin fat; it can be used in various areas of the body, including the jawline, breasts, hips, abdomen, and thighs. It is a non-surgical treatment that delivers lasting results without anesthesia. Furthermore, Kybella is often more budget-friendly compared to uninsured cosmetic surgeries.
What to Expect from Kybella
Kybella treatment sessions are quick and generally take only 20 minutes, making them convenient for those with busy schedules. During the session, micro-needles inject Kybella into the targeted area. While you might experience a temporary pricking sensation, the treatment is relatively painless.
The magic of Kybella lies in its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, which mimics the natural process the body uses to break down fat cells when we consume food. Kybella’s synthetic deoxycholic acid is highly effective at rupturing fat cells under the skin, giving you a slimmer appearance. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they won’t return, allowing you to choose the sessions needed to achieve your desired results.
Typically, most patients require one to three procedures spaced six weeks apart. You’ll start noticing improvements within a few weeks after your initial session, with the option to continue treatments until you achieve your goals.
Is Kybella Right For Me?
If you’ve been struggling with stubborn chin fat and desire a more contoured jawline, Kybella could be the perfect solution. This treatment helps you look younger and more attractive and requires minimal to no downtime. Some fat areas are resistant even if you’re diligent about exercise and diet. Kybella can help you achieve the desired results without surgery.
To determine if Kybella is right for you, it’s essential to consult with a clinician at True Jewel Cosmetic Center. During this consultation, you can discuss your personal goals and objectives, allowing the clinician to tailor the treatment plan to your needs.
Safety and Important Information
Before proceeding with Kybella, it’s crucial to understand the safety guidelines and potential side effects. Kybella is a prescription medicine specifically designed to improve the appearance of moderate to severe fat below the chin. It is not intended for use in other areas of the body or for individuals under 18.
You should not receive Kybella if you have an infection in the treatment area. Additionally, it’s essential to inform your healthcare provider about any medical conditions you may have, including prior or planned surgeries on your face, neck, or chin, as well as any cosmetic treatments in these areas.
If you have difficulty swallowing, have bleeding problems, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding, it’s crucial to disclose this information to your healthcare provider before receiving Kybella. The effects of Kybella on unborn babies and breast milk are not fully understood, so caution is advised.
Be sure to inform your True Jewel practitioner about all the medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, as well as vitamins and herbal supplements you are taking. In particular, mention any blood-thinning medications, as they may interact with Kybella.
Potential Side Effects
Kybella can cause side effects, although they are relatively rare. Some of these include nerve injury in the jaw, which may lead to an uneven smile, facial muscle weakness, and trouble swallowing. Injection site problems such as hematoma (a collection of blood under the skin), bruising, damage to arteries or veins, hair loss, open sores (ulcers), and tissue cell death (necrosis) are possible but uncommon.
The most common side effects of Kybella include swelling, pain, numbness, redness, and areas of hardness in the treatment area. While these side effects are typically temporary and subside independently, you must consult your provider if you experience any concerning symptoms.
If you have any questions about possible Kybella side effects, speak to your True Jewel practitioner. They will be happy to talk you through any concerns you may have.
