Kybella

Get rid of your double chin with Kybella – a non-surgical way to eliminate unwanted fat.

Diet and exercise alone don’t always reduce a double chin – genetics also come into play. Kybella is an injectable treatment that destroys fat cells in the submental area and prevents them from reaccumulating, giving you improved, long-lasting results.

HOW IT WORKS:

The active ingredient in Kybella is made of a synthetic deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring molecule in the body. This molecule works to breakdown and then absorbs fat. When injected into the double chin fat area, it destroys the fat cells. Once they are destroyed, these cells can no longer accumulate fat.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

The entire treatment is relatively painless. An ice compress will be applied to the entire area to be treated. This helps to reduce any swelling as well as make it more comfortable for the patient. The area will be sterilized and marked. Our medical staff will perform a series of injections within the area.

Some patients experience a “heat” sensation, redness and swelling after the treatment. If needed, patients may take ibuprofen to minimize any discomfort. Some patients may experience bruising. In 4 weeks this process is typically repeated.
