Have you ever accidentally opened your front-facing camera and immediately typed “how to lose a double chin” in your search bar? Well then welcome, you’re among friends here! While that move can be a day-ruiner for sure, the good news is that there are fabulous options to help address those double chin concerns, and this month we’re going to take a closer look at one of our favorites—Kybella.
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that’s designed to help you lose that stubborn double chin without surgery (even better news)! So, let’s get into the details you need—like how Kybella works, its benefits, and what you can expect from the treatment!
What is Kybella?
Kybella is an injectable treatment that uses deoxycholic acid–which can sound a little scary—but don’t be! Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. So, when it’s injected into the fat beneath your chin (called submental fat), it targets and destroys the fat cells. Then your body’s natural metabolic processes flush out the remnants of those cells over time. The result? A noticeable change in fullness under your chin and a more contoured profile (YES). Also, once those fat cells are destroyed, they no longer store or accumulate fat, which means once you get to the place you’re happy with, further double chin treatment may not be needed!
What to Expect During and After Kybella Treatments
Like we mentioned above, Kybella injections target the fat cells under the chin, breaking them down for your body to naturally eliminate them and the treatment is quick—often only taking 15-20 minutes per session. But what does the actual double chin treatment process look like?
Consultation – The first step is always the most important—a consultation! This is where your aesthetic provider will assess your chin and your profile and talk to you about your aesthetic goals. They will explain the treatment process, potential side effects, and what you can realistically expect from Kybella. This is the perfect time to ask any questions you might have and to ensure you feel comfortable and informed about your treatment plan.
Injection – The big moment! Using a fine needle or cannula your aesthetic provider will inject Kybella into the fat beneath your chin. The number of Kybella injections varies, but don’t worry–the procedure is relatively painless, although you may experience some discomfort or a slight burning sensation.
Post-Treatment Care – After the treatment, you might experience swelling, bruising, or numbness under the chin, but these side effects are temporary and generally subside within a few days to a week. As your body processes the destroyed fat cells, you’ll begin to see gradual improvements in the contour of your chin and jawline and the final results are usually visible after a few months.
Multiple Sessions for Optimal Results – Depending on what you need—and want—you might require multiple sessions to achieve the look you’re hoping for. Most patients see visible improvement after 2-4 treatments, with up to six treatments recommended for optimal Kybella results. The sessions are typically spaced about a month apart to give your body time to process those destroyed fat cells before the next treatment.
How Much Does Kybella Cost?
The big question, right? The cost of Kybella depends on a couple different factors—namely your location and the number of treatments you’ll need. On average, you can expect to pay between $1,200 and $1,800 per treatment session, but remember, it’s an investment! The long-lasting results and non-surgical nature of Kybella make it an incredible option for patients wanting to lose their double chin and boost their self-confidence.
