Kybella is an injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a "double chin." It is FDA-approved for the improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe submental fat.
Fat Cell Destruction: When Kybella is injected into the fat beneath the chin, deoxycholic acid works to disrupt the cell membrane of fat cells.
Metabolism and Elimination: After the fat cells are disrupted, the body's natural metabolic processes break down the fat, and the destroyed fat cells are gradually eliminated from the body through normal metabolic pathways.
Gradual Results: Reduction in submental fat occurs gradually over a series of treatment sessions. The body needs time to process and eliminate the destroyed fat cells.
TREATMENT PROCESS OF KYBELLA
Consultation: Before starting Kybella treatment, a consultation with a qualified healthcare provider is necessary. The provider will assess the patient's anatomy, discuss their goals, and determine if Kybella is a suitable option.
Injection Sessions: Kybella is typically administered through a series of injections into the fat beneath the chin. The number of sessions required varies based on individual factors, and each treatment session may last about 15 to 20 minutes.
Post-Treatment Care: After the injections, patients may experience swelling, bruising, or other temporary side effects. These effects usually subside over time.
