Kybella

Beauty is grace and confidence.

Kybella (sodium deoxycholate or deoxycholic acid) is an acid found in human bile that acts as a detergent to emulsify fats. It is a synthetic drug that helps the body dissolve and absorb fat. It is a great option to treat the submental fat found below the chin without surgery or scarring, known as a double chin.

Double chin fat is challenging to treat as it is very resistant and does not respond well to weight-loss diets, which is why Kybella is being well accepted by patients worldwide. Most patients say they are satisfied with the treatment as the results can be noticed as early as the second and fourth sessions.

Kybella exclusively contains deoxycholic acid at a concentration of 1%. The brand name has been approved by the FDA for use exclusively in treating double chin fat, making it a safe and reliable treatment for anyone seeking to resolve this widespread issue.

Non-invasive treatment:

The main advantage of non-invasive treatments is that, unlike plastic surgery, recovery is faster, and the patient does not need hospitalization. The procedure also does not require any pre-treatment preparation as with other more invasive procedures.

 Side effects:

Possible side effects include hematoma, redness, edema, and pain are common in the post-procedure, lasting around three to seven days. The symptoms are well tolerated and pass quickly. Other rare adverse effects localized at the injection site:

• Edema, Swelling;
• Bruising;
• Erythema, Or Vermilion;
• Itching;
• Pain;
• Hardening;
• Paresthesia (changes in sensitivity);
• Nodules;
• Skin Necrosis;
• Local Heat.

How soon can I expect results?

Several treatments or sessions are needed to achieve the expected reduction in treated fat. The ideal interval between sessions is 6 to 8 weeks. Patients will have significant swelling after the first treatment that usually takes up to a week to resolve, while tissue contraction occurs in subsequent months. Sessions can be done every month, but ideally every 6 weeks in the double chin area.
