Kybella

"Kybella is a great option for people who are looking to get rid of their double chin. It is a minimally invasive treatment with minimal downtime, and it can provide permanent results. Kybella works by injecting a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid into the fat cells under the chin. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule that helps the body break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the fat cells under the chin, Kybella causes the fat cells to break down and be absorbed by the body. This results in a gradual reduction in the size of the fat deposit under the chin."

Kybella: A Safe and Effective Treatment for Double Chins

Kybella is a FDA-approved injectable treatment that is used to reduce fat under the chin, also known as submental fullness or a double chin. It works by destroying fat cells in the submental area (under the chin) with deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. Kybella is administered in a series of 2 to 4 sessions, with patients typically seeing optimal results within 6 weeks.

The results of treatment are permanent, and it is a minimally invasive treatment with minimal downtime. If you are looking for a safe and effective way to get rid of your double chin, this is a great option to consider.

How Kybella Works

Kybella works by injecting a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid into the fat cells under the chin. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule that helps the body break down and absorb dietary fat.

This results in a gradual reduction in the size of the fat deposit under the chin.

The Details:

Who is Kybella for?

It is a good option for people who have a moderate to severe double chin that does not improve with diet or exercise. This is not a weight loss treatment, and it is not a cure for double chins. It can only reduce the size of the fat deposit under the chin.

What are the risks of Kybella treatment?

The most common side effects are swelling, bruising, numbness, pain, and redness at the injection sites.

WHAT IS SUBMENTAL FULLNESS?

Submental fullness, sometimes referred to as “double chin,” is a common, yet undertreated facial aesthetic condition. It can detract from an otherwise balanced and harmonious facial appearance – leading to an older and heavier look. Submental fullness can impact a broad range of adults, including both women and men, and can be caused by aging, genetics and weight gain. According to a 2015 survey by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS), over 2/3 of consumers are bothered by submental fullness –nearly as many as those bothered by lines and wrinkles around the eyes.

Reviews

Julie Russak is by far the best dermatologist I have ever visited. First off, her office is impeccable and looks like a museum. The front desk staff is always friendly and so are the medical assistants. Dr. Russak always gets the job done right and not once has she pressured me to spend any more money than I need to or suggest other procedures. If I ask her she’s very honest and professional.
