Kybella Treatments at Laser Touch Medical Clinic

Achieve a Defined Jawline with Kybella

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. It contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. Kybella offers a targeted and effective solution, helping patients achieve a more defined and contoured jawline without surgery.

BENEFITS OF KYBELLA

  • Permanent Fat Reduction: Once the fat cells are destroyed, they are permanently removed from the treated area, resulting in a lasting reduction of submental fat.

  • Non-Surgical: Kybella provides a non-invasive alternative to liposuction or surgery for reducing a double chin.

  • Minimal Downtime: Most patients experience minimal downtime and can return to their normal activities shortly after treatment.

KYBELLA PROCEDURE

  • Consultation: Our doctors evaluate your chin profile and discuss your goals to determine if Kybella is the right treatment for you.

  • Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed, and a topical or local anesthetic may be applied to reduce discomfort.

  • Injection: Kybella is injected into multiple points under the chin. The number of injections and treatment sessions varies depending on the amount of fat and the desired outcome.

  • Aftercare: Patients might experience swelling, bruising, or numbness in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few days to weeks.

CONSIDERATIONS

  • Side Effects: Common side effects include swelling, bruising, numbness, redness, and areas of hardness in the treatment area, which usually subside within a few days to weeks.

  • Serious Side Effects: Rare but can include nerve injury or difficulty swallowing.

EXPECTED RESULTS

  • Gradual Improvement: Visible results can be seen within 2 to 4 treatment sessions, spaced about a month apart. Up to 6 sessions may be needed for optimal results.

  • Contour Enhancement: The treated area gradually becomes more contoured and defined as the body metabolizes the destroyed fat cells.
