Double Chin? Kybella Can Fix That

Do you have extra fat under your chin? When you take photos or look in the mirror, are you annoyed by the extra fat you see below the chin area? Kybella is a revolutionary and relatively new injection used to improve the appearance submental fat, often referred to as “double chin.” A double chin can develop from aging, weight gain, and even genetics. At Aura Skin Spa, we offer consultations with our physicians and medical experts to see if services like Kybella are right for you.

How it works

When Kybella is injected into the submental fat area (fat below the chin) it responds by destroying fat cells. After being treated with Kybella, these fat cells can no longer gather or store fat. Kybella is made of an active ingredient called deoxycholic acid. This acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that works to break down and absorb fat. After the fat is broken down, it is processed using your body’s metabolism.

Depending on your specific situation, the amount of Kybella treatments you require will vary. Aura Skin Spa’s medical experts will help ascertain the number of treatment sessions you need depending on the amount of submental fat you have and your personal goals. Normally, patients need about 3-6 total treatments. Several treatments may be required to help the submental fat break down.

What to expect

If you want to pursue Kybella as a treatment for your double chin, here is what you can expect. The treatment will be done by a board-certified physician or medical professional in the privacy of Aura Skin Spa. Photos will be taken to demonstrate yours before and after look. A prescription pain reliever may be given before the treatment begins along with the application of an anesthetic. Next, Kybella will be administered using injections and will take about 30 minutes or longer to finish. After your treatment, you may develop swelling or redness at the injection area that will last for a few days.
