If you’re looking for a non-surgical way to reduce submental fat, Kybella® treatments at Esslinger Medical & Aesthetics offer a solution to help you achieve a more sculpted jawline. As the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment for reducing submental fat, this treatment is a powerful option to enhance your profile without the need for surgery.
What is Kybella®?
Kybella® is an innovative injectable treatment that targets and eliminates fat cells under the chin. Developed specifically for the submental area, this treatment utilizes synthetic deoxycholic acid, a substance naturally produced by the body to help break down and absorb dietary fat. Through a series of targeted injections, this treatment permanently destroys fat cells, delivering a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin.
What Does Kybella® Address?
Kybella® is ideal for treating moderate to severe fat accumulation under the chin, often referred to as a “double chin.” This type of fat can be challenging to reduce with diet and exercise alone, making it a popular choice for those seeking a slimmer, more contoured profile. Kybella® targets:
- Excess fat under the chin
- Fat that can create the appearance of a double chin
- Mild to moderate submental fullness
How Does It Work?
Kybella® works through a series of quick injections administered directly into the fatty tissue beneath the chin. The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, works by breaking down the cell membrane of fat cells. Once broken down, these cells are naturally flushed out of the body over time. Each treatment session typically takes around 15-20 minutes, and many people see improvement after two to four treatments spaced approximately one month apart. In total, up to six treatment sessions may be recommended depending on the amount of fat in the treatment area.
What Results Can I Expect From Kybella®?
Results from Kybella® are gradual as the body metabolizes and removes the destroyed fat cells. Patients often see visible improvement within a few weeks, with optimal results appearing in about 12 weeks following the final treatment session. Since the targeted fat cells are permanently destroyed, results are long-lasting, and with a healthy lifestyle, retreatments are generally not necessary.
Many patients experience a smoother, more defined jawline and a noticeable reduction in submental fullness, achieving a rejuvenated, more youthful appearance.
