No one want’s a double chin. Introducing Kybella, the only FDA-approved injectable double chin treatment. Kybella works by destroying fat cells in the treated area under the chin, thus improving your profile. In this article, we will go over all things Kybella, the injectable double chin treatment.
What is Kybella
Kybella is a prescription medicine used to help improve the appearance of the fat under the face, better known as an injectable double chin treatment. The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic is a synthetic version of a molecule that helps break down fat naturally in the body which no longer allows fat to accumulate or store.
How Does Works
Kybella is the brand name for deoxycholic acid or cholanoic acid. Like we touched on above, deoxycholic is a naturally occurring molecule found in the body that helps break down, as well as absorb dietary fat.
Kybellia is injected into the fat under the chin destroying the fat cells. By destroying the cells they are no longer able to store, as well as accumulate fat. Thus, eliminating the need for further treatment once your desired goals are met.
Kybella is a dissolving agent which works over a period of several weeks by slowly destroying fat cells without the need for prolonged/ maintenance treatment.
Risks and Side Effects of Kybella
Kybella is a non-surgical solution with little to no downtime. However, some of the potential side effects may include:
- Pain
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Redness
- Numbness
Recovery is minimal and downtime varies from client to client, however, any side effects experienced following treatment typically subside within one to two weeks. If you experience any severe or long-term side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
What to Expect After Treatment
