Your facial profile does not have to be defined by a double chin. With Kybella®, you can efficiently eliminate extra fat under your chin with CoolSculpting® Mini or a few targeted injections.
Does the appearance of a double chin bother you? You’re not alone. Many people face problems with excess fat under their chin, also known as submental fullness. This common cosmetic concern can be frustrating significantly when diet and exercise don’t help. Fortunately, there’s a solution that doesn’t involve surgery: Kybella treatment.
At The Spa MD, we know how a double chin can affect your self-esteem and general appearance. That’s why we’re excited to offer Kybella, an innovative and FDA-approved injectable treatment designed specifically for double chin reduction. In this blog post, we’ll explore how Kybella works, its benefits, and why it might be the right choice for you.
What is Kybella and How Does it Work?
Kybella is a non-surgical injectable treatment that targets and destroys fat cells under the chin. Its active component is a naturally occurring molecule called deoxycholic acid, which facilitates the body’s ability to break down and absorb dietary fat.
Kybella breaks down fat cells when injected into the fat beneath your chin. Once they are destroyed, these cells cannot store or accumulate fat. The outcome? A noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin is helping to improve your profile.
The Benefits of Kybella for Double Chin Reduction
1. Non-Surgical Solution
Kybella injections provide a non-surgical substitute for procedures such as liposuction, which is one of its main benefits. This means:
- No incisions or scars
- Minimal downtime
- Complication risk is lower than with surgical procedures
2. Customizable Treatment
Each patient has a different facial structure and aesthetic purpose. Treatments with Kybella can be customized to meet your individual needs. Your practitioner at The Spa MD will assess your chin profile and develop a treatment plan.
3. Long-lasting Results
Once the fat cells are destroyed, they’re gone for good. Your results can be long-lasting as long as you maintain a stable weight. This means you can enjoy your new profile for years to come.
4. Boost in Confidence
A more defined jawline and chin can greatly enhance your entire facial appearance. Following Kybella treatments, many patients report feeling more self-assured and pleased with their appearance.
What to Expect During Your Kybella Treatment
Understanding the treatment procedure will make you feel more at ease and ready for your Kybella experience. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Consultation
Your journey starts with a consultation at The Spa MD, where we will evaluate your chin profile, discuss your goals, and decide if Kybella is your best choice.
2. Treatment Session
- The area under your chin will be cleansed and marked to guide the injections.
- To make sure you are comfortable, a local anesthetic might be used.
- A series of tiny Kybella injections will be given under your chin by your healthcare provider.
- Usually, the process takes 15 to 20 minutes to complete.
3. Post-Treatment
- You may experience swelling, bruising, or numbness in the treated area. This is normal and typically subsides within a few days to weeks.
- The majority of patients can return to their normal activities after treatment immediately.
- For optimum results, it is usually recommended to have multiple treatment sessions separated by 4-6 weeks.
Is Kybella Right for You?
Get rid of extra fat under your chin with Kybella. However, it’s important to note that it’s not suitable for everyone. Ideal candidates for Kybella:
- Are adults 18 years or older
- Have moderate to severe submental fat beneath the chin
- Are at or near their ideal body weight
- Have good skin elasticity
- Are not pregnant or nursing
If you’re unsure whether Kybella is right for you, our experts at The Spa MD can help you determine the best course of action during your consultation.
Kybella vs. Other Double Chin Reduction Methods
While Kybella is an excellent option for many patients, it’s not the only method for addressing a double chin. Let’s compare Kybella to some other common treatments:
Kybella vs. CoolSculpting Mini
CoolSculpting Mini is another non-invasive treatment that can target fat under the chin. It eliminates fat cells by freezing them through controlled cooling. While both treatments can be effective, they work differently:
- Kybella uses injections, while CoolSculpting Mini uses external applicators
- Kybella typically requires multiple treatment sessions, while CoolSculpting Mini may achieve results in fewer sessions
- The choice between the two often depends on individual patient factors and preferences
Kybella vs. Liposuction
The surgical process of liposuction involves the physical removal of fat cells. Even though it has the potential to produce striking results, surgery carries risks and requires recovery time. Kybella provides a less invasive, non-surgical option, but it might take several sessions to see the desired effects.
Preparing for Your Kybella Treatment
To ensure the best possible outcome from your Kybella treatment, consider these preparation tips:
- With your doctor’s approval, avoid taking blood-thinning medications or supplements one week before treatment.
- Cleanse your face thoroughly on the day of treatment
- Arrive at your appointment with a bare face (no makeup)
- You may have some swelling following your first treatment, so consider making arrangements for someone to drive you home.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Proper post-treatment management has the potential to maximize outcomes and reduce adverse reactions. Here are some tips for post-treatment care:
- To lessen swelling, apply cold packs or ice to the treated area.
- Refrain from intense exercise for 24 to 48 hours following treatment.
- For the first few nights, keep your head up while you sleep.
- Follow any specific instructions provided by your practitioner at The Spa MD
While Kybella can yield long-lasting effects, it is crucial to keep in mind that maintaining a stable weight through a nutritious diet and consistent exercise is the key to maintaining your new profile.
