What is Kybella and How Does it Work?
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fat, also commonly called a double chin. It offers an alternative to liposuction that’s non-surgical, making it an appealing choice for those looking to enhance their appearance without undergoing surgery. The science behind Kybella is both fascinating and effective.
Kybella’s active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a molecule occurring naturally in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the fatty tissue under the chin, Kybella begins to break down the membranes of fat cells.
Here’s a closer look at the process:
- Injection: During the procedure, Kybella is injected directly into the targeted fat cells under the chin.
- Destruction: The deoxycholic acid starts to break down the fat cells’ membranes, causing them to rupture and die.
- Elimination: Over the next few weeks, the body naturally processes and gets rid of the dead fat cells through the lymphatic system. Once these fat cells are gone, they are gone for good, leading to a noticeable reduction in the fullness under the chin.
Benefits of Kybella Treatment
Kybella offers several benefits that make it a standout choice for those looking to reduce chin fat:
- Minimally Invasive: Unlike surgical procedures, Kybella requires no incisions, stitches, or general anesthesia, resulting in minimal downtime.
- Permanent Results: Once the fat cells are destroyed and eliminated, they do not return, making the results long-lasting with proper weight maintenance.
- Customizable: Treatments can be tailored to meet your specific needs and desired outcomes, ensuring you achieve the best possible results.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
At Millefiori Medical Skin Rejuvenation, we strive to ensure your Kybella experience is as comfortable and effective as possible. Here’s what you can expect:
- Consultation: Your treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your needs and find if Kybella is right for you.
- Procedure: During the treatment, a number of small injections will be administered to the targeted area. The procedure typically takes about 15-20 minutes.
- Recovery: Common side effects include swelling, bruising, and numbness under the chin, which usually subside within a few days. Most patients can return to their usual activities shortly after the treatment.
