KYBELLA® is the first non-surgical, FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells under the chin to improve your profile.
WHY KYBELLA®?
Ditch your double chin, reduce bra fat, and sculpt your knees with KYBELLA®.
A double chin (submental fullness), whether caused by genetics, aging, or weight gain, can make you look heavier and older than you actually are. To make matters worse, fat in this area is universally hard to lose, no matter how much you diet and exercise. KYBELLA® is the first non-surgical, FDA-approved injectable treatment to diminish fat and help re-contour your jawline and profile.
The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is 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® destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.
KYBELLA® is frequently used off-label to contour and reduce fat in smaller areas of the body as well! It is very effective at shrinking and smoothing the stubborn pockets of fat that push out from a bra in front of the underarms. KYBELLA® can also be used to reduce small bulges of fat above the knees to add definition and contour.
THE PROCESS
Although KYBELLA® treatments only take 20 minutes to perform, maximum results are seen at 3 months.
A consultation with a Refinery Skin Clinic Injection Specialist is required before scheduling a KYBELLA® treatment. Although Kybella® is an excellent option for clients with double chins, thicker necklines, or small, stubborn pockets of fat in the bra area or above the knees—it is NOT ideal for those with loose, sagging skin. If you have prominent sagging or lax tissue in your neck area (turkey neck), your provider may advise that facial plastic surgery is a better option. In addition, they may sometimes recommend CoolSculpting® or Sofwave™ as alternative treatment methods.
If it is determined you are a good candidate for KYBELLA®, your Injection Specialist will map out a treatment strategy based on the number of sessions you will need to see the best fat reduction. At your first appointment, a removable grid will be applied to the treatment area to assist your provider with the even placement of injections. Ice will be used to increase your comfort. Then, a series of KYBELLA® injections will be injected throughout the grid. On average, clients need up to four treatment sessions, if not six. Treatments take only 20 minutes and are spaced 8-12 weeks apart.
THE RESULTS
Enjoy long-lasting, permanent results with KYBELLA®
Following KYBELLA®, you may notice a feeling of fullness and swelling in the treatment area. Mild numbness, redness, and tenderness are also normal symptoms for up to two weeks after treatment. Bruising may also occur. As always, we recommend you discuss your social calendar with your provider when scheduling your appointments.
Results don’t happen overnight with KYBELLA®. In fact, your chin and neck may initially appear fuller than when you started for a week or two due to swelling. However, much is happening in the weeks following your treatment. The deoxycholic acid in KYBELLA® is breaking down fat cells, which your lymphatic system safely clears away. As this process continues, tissue in the treatment area tightens and retracts. Be patient! This process is progressive, but the results are permanent! Most clients begin to see results eight weeks after their first KYBELLA® treatment. Maximum results present three months after your last treatment.
Your KYBELLA® results may be enhanced further with the addition of JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC in the chin to build out projection and balance your facial features, as well as JUVÉDERM® VOLUX® XC along the jawline to add contour and definition. The combination of these three injectables can significantly transform your lower face and profile! Your Injection Specialist will discuss these options and whether they think you may benefit from them at your initial consultation.
Our Injection Specialists strongly recommend using two products with KYBELLA® to accelerate, enhance, and maintain your results. If you are having KYBELLA® performed in your chin and jawline, SkinMedica’s Neck Correct Cream can help take your results further by firming and tightening the skin in this area. SkinMedica’s Firm & Tone Body Lotion is a must for anyone receiving KYBELLA® above the knees. It not only smooths and tightens the skin in this area over time but also helps improve the skin’s tone and resiliency.
