What is Kybella™?

Kybella™ is formulated with the active ingredient deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the submental area, deoxycholic acid disrupts the cell membrane of fat cells, causing them to be naturally metabolized by the body over time. This process permanently eliminates fat cells, leading to long-lasting results and a more defined jawline.

Candidates for Kybella™

Candidates for Kybella™ treatment are individuals bothered by excess fat in their neck or chin area. This excess fat can be due to genetics, aging, or weight fluctuations. Ideal candidates have good overall health and realistic expectations about the treatment’s outcomes. Your medical history, aesthetic goals, and personalized treatment options will be reviewed during a consultation with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Nowak.

Kybella™ Procedure

The Kybella™ procedure is performed in-office and typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. Before the treatment begins, the submental area is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort. A tiny needle injects The Kybella™ solution into your targeted areas beneath the chin. The number of injections and treatment sessions required varies depending on your condition and treatment goals.

Kybella™ Recovery

After your Kybella™ treatment, swelling, redness, or bruising may occur in the treated area; although these side effects typically resolve within a few days, patients are advised to avoid physical activity and sun exposure immediately following the treatment. Your results may be visible after just one treatment session. However, most individuals require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can fat come back after Kybella?

No, the fat cells will not come back once they have been eliminated by Kybella. Once the fat cells are gone, they cannot grow back.

Does Kybella tighten skin?

No, Kybella does not tighten the skin, it’s only for the reduction of fat. While it can improve the appearance of your jawline, if you have sagging skin, it will not address that issue. However, Nowak Aesthetic offers treatments to address sagging facial skin, such as Emface, which can be combined with your Kybella treatment.

How do you get rid of a double chin with Kybella?

The Kybella treatment could not be simpler. With just a few simple injections, the formula will break down your unwanted fat, allowing the body to naturally remove it and leaving you with a more sculpted jawline. The formula contains deoxycholic acid, which is highly effective at breaking down and dissolving fat over time.

How long do Kybella results last?

The results of Kybella are considered permanent. The fat cells will not grow back or return. That said, fat cells in other areas of the face can still grow and may negatively affect your results.

Is Kybella only for the chin?

Yes. Kybella is currently only FDA-approved for removing unwanted fat along the chin. If you’re struggling with stubborn fat cells in other areas, a different treatment, such as FaceTite, is likely a better option for you.

What areas of the body can Kybella treat?

Kybella is only FDA-approved to treat unwanted fat underneath the chin. It is not meant for any other areas of the face or body.

Can you see results after one Kybella treatment?

You can see results after only one Kybella treatment, but most patients need more than a single treatment session. Typically, we recommend 2-4 treatment sessions for optimal results.

How should you prepare for your Kybella treatment?

Before your Kybella treatments, you’ll need to avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood thinners for at least 48 hours before your appointment. You’ll also need to hydrate as much as possible and stick to a healthy diet.

What should you avoid doing after Kybella?

After your Kybella injections, you’ll need to avoid strenuous exercise, sun and heat exposure, alcohol, and NSAIDs. Your provider at Nowak Aesthetics will let you know what you should do (and not do) to achieve the best results.

How many Kybella treatments are typically needed?

The number of treatment sessions you need will depend on the results you’re looking for. That said, we typically recommend 2-4 treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart for the best outcome.

Kybella™ Results

The results of Kybella™ treatment are gradual and become more noticeable as the body naturally eliminates the destroyed fat cells over time. Many patients report a noticeable reduction in submental fat and an improvement in the look of their jawline after completing their treatment series. With proper maintenance and a healthy lifestyle, the results of Kybella™ treatment can be long-lasting, providing individuals with renewed confidence in their appearance.

Discussing your treatment options with Dr. Nowak and following a personalized treatment plan can help you achieve your aesthetic goals and enjoy the benefits of a slimmer, more defined chin and jawline with Kybella™.
