You may have noticed that you have a double chin – or what cosmetic medical doctors and licensed aestheticians call “submental fullness.” Here, you have additional subcutaneous fat that sits between the lower jaw and the neck, adding unwanted volume.
While there are various treatments available to remove this excess tissue, Kybella® is one of the safest and most effective. It is entirely non-surgical and uses special substances to naturally break down chin fat, gradually reducing its size and volume.
Double Chin Reduction With Kybella®
Do you feel self-conscious about your double chin? If so, you can talk to one of our practitioners about Kybella® here at The Laser Skin Care Center.
Submental fat can be extremely stubborn. Often it persists even after you go on a strict diet and exercise regimen, making the area under your mouth appear larger and fuller than you’d like.
Kybella® is an FDA-approved injection designed to break down fat using deoxycholic acid – the same substance the body itself uses. Our medical doctors and assistants inject it into the target site where it gets under the skin and starts disrupting fat cell membranes. After several rounds of treatment, the cells eventually lose their structure and break down, allowing the body to eliminate them.
Kybella® treatment destroys fat cells permanently. Once they are gone, they can’t come back, making you more resistant to submental weight gain in the future.
Benefits of Kybella®
Kybella® offers a host of benefits that make it an effective fat-loss option for people looking to reduce their double chins.
- Zero downtime. You can return to your schedule immediately after Kybella®. There is no downtime at all, and minimal post-procedural discomfort or soreness.
- Quick and easy. Kybella® sessions usually last around 15 to 20 minutes. The number of injections you receive when visiting our clinic will depend on your excess fatty deposits’ scope and severity. Most patients need between one and three separate sessions to achieve the desired results.
- Permanent fat reduction. Kybella® is a wonderful innovation because it permanently destroys the fat cells under your chin. Thus, even if you wind up falling off your diet and exercise regimen, submental fat will not return in the same volume as it did before. The effects of Kybella® are long-lasting.
- Visible results after two to three treatments. Thanks to the power of the Kybella® system, you only have to return to the Laser Skin Care Center twice to get visible results. After just a few weeks, fat deposits appear significantly reduced, boosting your confidence.
Am I a Candidate for Double Chin Reduction?
The best candidates for double chin reduction are those who have stubborn deposits of submental fat, even after going on strict diet and exercise regimes. Kybella® offers additional support to help you break through plateaus and get the chin shape you want.
Women who are breastfeeding or pregnant and those with lots of loose skin are not good candidates for this therapy.
