Excess chin fat is very difficult to lose with diet and exercise alone. If you’re interested in a slimmer and trimmer profile but eager to avoid surgery, it’s time to consider Kybella®, the first FDA-approved injectable for submental (chin) fat reduction.
Kybella is made from deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring fat-busting molecule in your body. Kybella is perfectly suited to decrease fat in small, specific areas of the body like the chin. Once your fat cells are destroyed, they can never return, making Kybella a long-term facial contouring solution.
Kybella injections help:
- Reduce excess chin fat
- Improve the appearance of a double chin
- Reveal a slimmer, trimmer and more youthful-looking profile
FAQs: Kybella
in Albany, ny
How does Kybella work?
Kybella injections are made of deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring substance in your body that helps break down fat cells. For your treatment, we will first numb your chin area with a topical numbing cream before mapping out the exact locations for your Kybella injections. Kybella is then injected into several specific areas under your chin. Though treatment involves several injections, the Kybella needle is short and feels like a slight prick, so treatments are well tolerated and quite efficient.
Is there downtime with Kybella?
Kybella may involve up to a week of swelling. We recommend wearing scarves or turtlenecks until swelling has subsided. The swelling is actually a good sign because it means your treatment is working! Swelling indicates that Kybella is hard at work destroying targeted fat cells.
Are there side effects with Kybella?
With any injection, there is risk of swelling, pinpoint bleeding and bruising at the injection sites. Any of these side effects should subside on their own within the hours and days following treatment.
When will I see my results?
You will begin to notice your results within a week or two following your treatment, after any swelling has subsided. Optimal benefits are typically seen a few months following your Kybella session.
How many Kybella treatments do I need?
Kybella provides optimal results with a series of three to six treatments, spaced at least one month apart. We will help you devise a Kybella regimen that meets your unique needs and goals during your personal consultation.
