There are many cosmetic treatments you can undergo to reduce unwanted fat tissue. Kybella is, by far, one of the most popular options for targeting fat cells beneath your chin. A welcome alternative to liposuction, Kybella treatment sessions are short yet highly effective
What is Kybella?
Kybella is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that reduces excess fat beneath the chin. Traditional liposuction procedures require general anesthesia and the removal of fat using a cannula (a thin tube).
The way that Kybella works to remove fat tissue from under the chin is different. Kybella is a non-surgical injection technique that uses a synthesized chemical called deoxycholic acid. It’s an FDA-approved procedure and a well-tolerated alternative to liposuction.
Kybella treatments in Long Beach, CA, are available from the Laser Skin Care Center. We are a collective of board-certified dermatologists and are providers of full-spectrum dermatologic care with the highest standards of excellence.
Each Kybella treatment session lasts just 15 to 20 minutes, and a significant advantage of Kybella is that there’s no downtime. That means you can continue with your day after finishing your session at the Laser Skin Care Center.
How Much are Kybella Treatments?
Kybella treatment sessions differ between patients. As such, there’s no set price for a complete treatment package. That’s because some patients may require more Kybella injections than others.
The price you pay for your Kybella treatment will depend on various factors. Most patients that undergo Kybella treatments typically won’t need more than six monthly sessions. However, that may increase if there’s a lot of fat tissue to remove from under your chin.
On average, you can expect to pay between $1,200 to $2,400 for a complete Kybella treatment
Will I Need More than One Treatment?
Kybella injections aren’t single-session treatments. The majority of patients will require, on average, injections spaced out each month over six months.
Before scheduling a consultation with the Laser Skin Care Center, it makes sense to get rid of the bulk of your chin fat through other means. For example, a weight loss plan that includes a balanced diet and daily exercise can help.
You might need between two and three Kybella treatments to get the best results from the injections. Bear in mind that you cannot see the final outcome of your treatment until around six months after your first injection.
Am I a Candidate for Kybella?
For people seeking a moderate amount of fat tissue removed from under their chins, Kybella treatments offer the best results. Of course, as with any cosmetic procedure, Kybella isn’t for everyone.
Good candidates for Kybella treatments are people that are relatively healthy and lead a moderately active lifestyle.
Kybella treatments should be avoided by pregnant or nursing women, people with difficulty swallowing, or those with a medical condition that affects the neck
