Kybella
Kybella at SkinScience MD
Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment that targets and permanently reduces submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin. At SkinScience MD by Dr. Cynthia Price, Kybella is used to contour the area beneath the chin for a slimmer, more defined jawline without the need for surgery or liposuction.
Submental fullness can be caused by weight fluctuations, genetics, or the natural aging process. Even with a healthy lifestyle, many people find it difficult to reduce stubborn fat in this area. Kybella offers a safe and effective solution through a series of simple injections.
What is Kybella?
The active ingredient in Kybella is synthetic deoxycholic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells. Once eliminated, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, which leads to a gradual and noticeable reduction in fullness.
Each treatment session typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Most patients require a series of two to four sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results. During each session, a series of small injections are placed directly into the treatment area. Numbing measures such as topical anesthetic or ice may be used to enhance comfort.
Our Approach and Expertise
After treatment, patients can experience temporary swelling, tenderness, or bruising beneath the chin. This is a normal part of the process and often indicates that the product is working. As swelling subsides over the following days and weeks, the chin area begins to appear firmer, smoother, and more contoured.
The results of Kybella are long-lasting. Once the targeted fat cells are removed, they do not return. However, maintaining a stable weight is important to preserve your outcome.
At SkinScience MD, we carefully evaluate each patient to determine if Kybella is the right treatment. For those with moderate submental fat and good skin elasticity, it can provide an excellent alternative to surgery with minimal downtime and natural-looking results.
