Read on to learn more about Kybella and how it could be the key to forever ridding you of your double chin.
What is a Double Chin?
Submental fullness is characterized by extra fat under the chin, creating the appearance of a double chin. This condition can arise due to various factors, including genetic predisposition, weight gain, or the natural aging process. Regardless of its origin, this excess fat can contribute to self-consciousness about one’s appearance.
About Kybella
Kybella is a groundbreaking treatment designed to target and break down submental fat. As the only FDA-approved injectable for this purpose, Kybella provides a reliable and effective solution for improving the profile of the chin and neck area.
Kybella’s active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body and aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the chin area, Kybella destroys fat cells, resulting in a more contoured and defined jawline.
How Does Kybella Work?
Kybella works by using deoxycholic acid to break down fat cells under the chin. Once injected, the acid disrupts the fat cell membranes, causing them to release their contents. Your body then naturally processes and eliminates these contents, gradually reducing submental fullness. The fat cells targeted by Kybella are permanently destroyed, meaning they cannot regenerate, giving you long-lasting results.
The Hollywood Kybella Treatment Process
Here’s what you can expect during your Kybella treatment at Beauty Vault:
Step 1 – Consultation
We begin with an in-depth consultation where our skilled practitioners assess your suitability for Kybella. We’ll discuss your aesthetic goals and determine the best approach for achieving the results you desire.
Step 2 – Preparation
Prior to your treatment, we will carefully mark the injection sites and apply a topical numbing agent to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Step 3 – Injection
The treatment itself involves a series of small injections under the chin, with each session lasting around 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the amount of submental fat being treated.
Step 4 – Post-Injection
After the injections, you may experience temporary swelling, bruising, or discomfort, which are normal side effects. These symptoms can be managed with ice packs and over-the-counter pain relief.
Kybella Aftercare
After your Kybella treatment, following these aftercare tips will help promote a smooth recovery:
- Use ice packs to reduce swelling and ease any discomfort
- Avoid strenuous activities for 24 to 48 hours after your treatment
- Keep your head elevated to help minimize swelling
Long-Term Care
To maintain your new, sculpted look, it’s important to adopt healthy lifestyle habits such as eating well, staying hydrated, and exercising regularly. These choices will help preserve your results and keep your double chin from returning.
Remember, the results from Kybella are permanent, but gaining a significant amount of weight post-treatment could lead to the reappearance of submental fullness.
Follow-Up
Most patients will need between 2 to 6 treatment sessions, spaced approximately one month apart, to achieve their desired results. Follow-up appointments will allow our team to monitor your progress and determine if additional treatments are necessary.
Who is a Good Candidate for Kybella?
Kybella is an excellent choice for adults over 18 who are in good overall health and have moderate to severe submental fat. Ideal candidates should also have realistic expectations about the results.
Kybella may not be suitable for those with infections in the treatment area, certain medical conditions, or individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It’s essential to discuss your medical history with our practitioners during your consultation.
Common side effects include swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, or redness at the injection site. These effects are temporary and typically resolve on their own. Our team will provide detailed instructions on managing any side effects and ensuring a comfortable recovery.
