Kybella Treatment

What is Kybella Treatment?

Kybella is an FDA-approved, non-surgical injectable treatment designed to reduce moderate to severe fat beneath the chin, commonly known as submental fat or a “double chin.” 

The active ingredient in Kybella is synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella effectively destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin and an improved chin profile.

At Profile Medical & Aesthetics in Granbury, TX, we specialize in providing personalized Kybella treatments to help clients achieve their aesthetic goals. 

What Are the Benefits of Kybella Treatment?

Kybella offers several benefits for individuals looking to improve their chin profile without undergoing surgery. Some of the key benefits include:

Non-Surgical Procedure

Kybella is a non-invasive treatment that does not require incisions, anesthesia, or a lengthy recovery period. This makes it an attractive option for those looking to avoid the risks and downtime associated with surgical procedures.

Permanent Results

Once the fat cells are destroyed by Kybella, they cannot store or accumulate fat again. This means that the results are long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

Quick and Convenient

Each Kybella treatment session typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. Most clients require multiple sessions, spaced about a month apart, to achieve optimal results.

Customized Treatment Plan

At Profile Medical & Aesthetics, we tailor each Kybella treatment plan to the individual needs and goals of our clients. This personalized approach ensures that you receive the best possible results.

Minimal Downtime

While some swelling, bruising, or numbness may occur after the treatment, these side effects are usually temporary and subside within a few days. Most clients can return to their normal activities shortly after the procedure.

Who is Kybella Treatment Right For?

Kybella is an ideal treatment for adults who are bothered by the appearance of a double chin and are looking for a non-surgical solution. Candidates for Kybella should meet the following criteria:

  • Good Overall Health: Candidates should be in good overall health with no underlying medical conditions that could interfere with the treatment or healing process.
  • Moderate to Severe Submental Fat: Kybella is most effective for individuals with moderate to severe fat beneath the chin. It is not suitable for those with minimal submental fat or loose, sagging skin.
  • Realistic Expectations: Candidates should have realistic expectations about the results of Kybella treatment. While the treatment can significantly improve the appearance of a double chin, it may not achieve the same results as surgical procedures.

What Conditions Can Kybella Treatment Treat?

Kybella is specifically designed to target and reduce submental fat, commonly referred to as a double chin. It is not intended for use on other areas of the body. 

The treatment can effectively:

  • Reduce the Appearance of a Double Chin: By destroying fat cells beneath the chin, Kybella helps to create a more defined and contoured jawline.
  • Improve Chin Profile: Kybella can enhance the overall profile of the chin and neck, resulting in a more youthful and balanced appearance.

What Should I Try at Home Before Seeing a Provider for Kybella Treatment?

Before considering Kybella treatment, there are a few at-home measures you can try to reduce the appearance of a double chin:

Healthy Diet and Exercise:

Maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise routine can help reduce overall body fat, including submental fat. Focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, and incorporate both cardiovascular and strength-training exercises into your routine.

Facial Exercises:

Certain facial exercises may help strengthen the muscles in the neck and jaw, potentially reducing the appearance of a double chin. Some exercises to try include:
Chin Lifts: Tilt your head back and look toward the ceiling. Pucker your lips as if you are kissing the ceiling and hold for a few seconds. Repeat 10-15 times.
Jaw Jut: Tilt your head back and look toward the ceiling. Push your lower jaw forward to feel a stretch under the chin. Hold for a few seconds and repeat 10-15 times.

Hydration and Skincare:

Staying hydrated and using skincare products that promote skin elasticity can help improve the overall appearance of the skin and reduce the visibility of a double chin.
