Kybella
Submental fullness, commonly known as a “double chin,” can be a frustrating concern that doesn’t always respond to diet and exercise. It can affect your profile and confidence, making you feel older or heavier than you actually are. Aesthetics Renewal and Beyond offers a revolutionary, non-surgical solution: Kybella. As a leading medspa in New Jersey, we provide this FDA-approved injectable to permanently eliminate fat cells under the chin, helping you achieve a sharper, more defined jawline.
What is a Kybella?
Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment used to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin. Its active ingredient is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a molecule that occurs naturally in the body and aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella causes the rapid destruction and absorption of fat cells. Once these cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat. This means the results are permanent, offering a long-term solution to submental fullness without the need for invasive surgery like liposuction. It’s a targeted fat destruction method designed specifically for one of the most stubborn problem areas.
Who is the Ideal Candidate for Kybella?
Kybella is an effective solution for many men and women bothered by submental fullness. During your consultation, our expert physicians will evaluate your anatomy and discuss your goals to determine if you are a good candidate.
You might be an ideal candidate for Kybella if you:
- Are 18 years of age or older.
- Are bothered by moderate to severe fat under your chin.
- Feel that the condition makes you look heavier or older than you are.
- Do not want to undergo surgery to correct the issue.
- Have good skin elasticity, which will allow the skin to retract smoothly after the fat is removed.
- Are in good overall health.
Kybella is not a treatment for loose or sagging skin (sometimes called a “turkey neck”). If skin laxity is your primary concern, our specialists may recommend other medspa services, such as radiofrequency treatments or Sculptra, to tighten the skin.
Key Benefits of Kybella Treatments
Clients seeking our Kybella, can expect a host of benefits that contribute to a more youthful and sculpted appearance. This advanced treatment offers more than just fat reduction; it provides a significant boost in confidence.
Permanent Fat Destruction
The primary benefit of Kybella is its permanence. Unlike other treatments that may only shrink fat cells, Kybella destroys them completely. Once your aesthetic goal is achieved, further treatment is not expected. This “one and done” aspect makes it a highly appealing option for long-term results.
Non-Surgical and Minimally Invasive
Kybella offers a powerful alternative to surgical procedures like liposuction. The treatment involves a series of small injections, requires no incisions, and avoids the risks associated with general anesthesia. This makes it a safer and more convenient choice for many clients.
Improved Chin Profile and Jawline Definition
By eliminating the excess fat that creates a double chin, Kybella reveals a more defined and contoured jawline. This can dramatically improve your facial profile from all angles, creating a more balanced and youthful aesthetic.
Minimal Downtime
While you may experience swelling and some tenderness after the procedure, the downtime is minimal compared to surgery. Most clients can return to their daily activities almost immediately, making it easy to fit the treatment into a busy schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kybella
How long does it take to see results?
You will begin to notice results in the weeks following your treatment as the body metabolizes the destroyed fat cells. Visible results typically appear after two to four sessions. Because Kybella offers permanent fat destruction, the results are long-lasting.
Is the Kybella treatment painful?
You may feel a slight pinching or stinging sensation during the injections. We take steps to minimize discomfort, including using topical numbing agents and ice. After the treatment, it is common to experience some tenderness, numbness, or tingling in the area.
What are the side effects and downtime?
The most common side effect is swelling, which can be significant for the first few days but gradually subsides over one to two weeks. Other potential side effects include bruising, redness, numbness, and areas of hardness at the injection sites. Most of these are temporary and resolve on their own.
How many Kybella treatments will I need?
The number of treatments varies from person to person. Many clients see significant improvement after two to four sessions. The maximum number of treatments allowed is six. Your provider at Aesthetics Renewal and Beyond will create a personalized plan for you.
Can Kybella be used on other parts of the body?
Kybella is only FDA-approved for treating submental fat under the chin. Using it in other areas is considered “off-label.” While some providers may use it for small pockets of fat like “bra bulge” or around the knees, its safety and efficacy for these areas have not been officially established.
