Kybella in Canonsburg, PA
Kybella
Kybella is a cutting-edge, non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to reduce submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin. This FDA-approved injectable utilizes deoxycholic acid, a naturally present molecule that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. Upon injection into the submental fat, Kybella targets and eliminates fat cells, leading to a significant decrease in under-chin fullness and an improved definition of the jawline and neck area.
FAQs
Kybella is an ideal, non-surgical solution for adults looking to reduce under-chin fat, commonly known as a “double chin,” but should not be used if there is an infection in the treatment area.
Visible results from Kybella treatments are typically seen after 2 to 4 sessions, though individual responses vary, and a personalized treatment plan is tailored to meet each person’s unique needs.
Once Kybella destroys the fat cells, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, leading to a lasting reduction in fullness under the chin. This means that additional treatments are typically unnecessary once you have attained your desired results.
Kybella can cause temporary side effects such as swelling, pain, numbness, and redness, with rare but more serious effects like nerve injury or difficulty swallowing. However, most patients experience minimal downtime and can quickly return to daily activities.
Before your Kybella treatment, disclose your medical history and any facial surgeries or treatments to your healthcare provider. After treatment, adhere to their aftercare guidelines for optimal results and minimal side effects.
The treatment involves administering several small injections beneath your chin. The process is relatively quick, typically taking about 15 to 20 minutes. You may experience some discomfort during the injection, but this is generally well-tolerated.
