KYBELLA INJECTION
UNDERSTANDING THE TREATMENT
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment used to improve the appearance of moderate to severe fat beneath the chin (submental fat), often referred to as a "double chin." The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
TREATMENT PROCESS
STEP 01
CONSULTATION
Before receiving Kybella injections, you'll have a consultation with a qualified healthcare provider, such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. During this consultation, your provider will assess your chin area, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if Kybella is an appropriate treatment for you.
STEP 02
TREATMENT PLAN
Based on your consultation, your provider will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and desired outcomes. The number of Kybella treatments needed varies from person to person, but many individuals require multiple treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart.
STEP 03
THE PROCEDURE
On the day of your Kybella treatment, your provider will cleanse the treatment area and may apply a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort. Then, using a fine needle, your provider will administer a series of small injections of Kybella directly into the fat beneath your chin. The injections are strategically placed to target the desired areas and break down the fat cells.
STEP 04
POST-TREATMENT CARE
After receiving Kybella injections, you may experience some temporary side effects such as swelling, bruising, redness, or numbness in the treatment area. These side effects typically subside within a few days to a couple of weeks. Your provider may recommend using cold packs and over-the-counter pain relievers to manage any discomfort.
STEP 05
THE RESULTS
Over the following weeks and months, your body will naturally process and eliminate the destroyed fat cells, gradually reducing the appearance of your double chin. Most people start to see noticeable results after two to four treatment sessions, although individual results may vary.
