With Kybella You Don’t Need Surgery to Get Rid of Double Chins

Kybella is an absolute game-changer for those with double chins. This FDA-approved injectable works by dissolving the fat that causes double chins, for good. Available at Parson Skin Center, Kybella is a “grid” shaped stamp of injectables that goes to work busting up targeted fat cells in a series of treatments. Most clients need about three appointments spaced 4 – 6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results, and that waiting period between appointments is critical. Once the fat is dissolved with Kybella, it can’t regenerate.

However, Kybella is not an alternative to a healthy diet and exercise. The reality is that you don’t need to be overweight to have a double chin. Many people who are slender are still challenged by this common feature, and as your trainer and nutritionist has told you, there’s no such thing as spot reducing—at least not via exercise and diet. Kybella allows for a non-surgical means of spot reducing in a quick appointment with virtually no downtime.

Goodbye, Liposuction. Hello, Kybella.

When there is an effective, safe, and fast alternative to cosmetic surgery, many people will quickly take it. That is why Kybella is so popular, and it’s no wonder this injectable quickly garnered a strong following when it was approved by the FDA a few years ago. The results of Kybella aren’t immediate, but you will start to see results about one month after each injection. Kybella uses deoxycholic acid to blast away unwanted fat, which is a natural acid already found in the body. However, when used in the right concentration and injected directly into the target site, it works as a permanent approach to fat removal.

Unlike diet and exercise, which can shrink fat cells (but not target them), the fat removed with Kybella is gone for good. Still, weight gain can cause nearby fat cells to grow and spread into the treated area. In other words, other fat cells can still grow or shrink, but the fat cells dissolved with Kybella will never come back.

What to Expect with Kybella

Since Kybella uses a stamp of injectables during the treatment, it is considered minimally invasive instead of non-invasive. Total appointment times are typically 30 minutes or less, and some redness, bruising, and swelling may occur in the days following your treatment. Still, most clients feel comfortable going about their day after getting a Kybella treatment. Dramatic results can appear just four weeks after the first injection, but it’s important to keep your scheduled sessions in order to achieve the best results.

Multiple sessions are required because Kybella is just that powerful. If too many fat cells are blasted away, they can’t be replaced. This means a conservative approach is taken when administering Kybella so that your provider can expertly gauge exactly how much Kybella to deliver and where. After your final Kybella injection, you can watch the last of the lingering double chin disappear in the weeks following the final session.

Rave Reviews of Kybella

Prior to Kybella, the only way to get rid of a double chin was through liposuction. Liposuction is less invasive than many other plastic surgeries, but it’s still a surgery and comes with the downtime and risks associated with surgeries. Anesthesia is needed for liposuction, even in small areas like below the chin. Kybella bypasses the recovery period and any surgical risks, allowing for a procedure that really works but doesn’t require you to take time off of work. Of course, this also means that Kybella is much more affordable than cosmetic surgery.

A before and after gallery of Kybella patients showcases just how dramatic the results can be. If you’re bothered by a double chin, know that you’re not alone. This condition affects many people and we understand that it can be frustrating—especially when you’re otherwise fit and in shape. There are many causes to a double chin, from a genetic disposition for a little extra padding in this area to jaw shape. Now, you can gain control over your looks and profile with a few simple injections. Learn more about Kybella and if you’re a good candidate by booking a consultation today.
