Are you in search of a minimally invasive solution to significantly reduce submental fullness, commonly referred to as a double chin? Desert Eyesthetics is pleased to offer Kybella, a trusted and effective injectable treatment that redefines your chin profile, delivering beautifully sculpted contours!
Submental fullness occurs when adipose tissue, or fat, accumulates beneath the chin within the submental fat pad. It can affect men and women and is usually the result of weight fluctuations, genetics, or the natural aging process. The stubborn diet and exercise-resistant fat can significantly impact a person’s appearance and self-confidence.
Kybella by Allergan is the first and only injectable treatment that’s FDA-approved to reduce moderate to severe submental fat beneath the chin. The active ingredient is a patented synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in the body and aids in the breaking down and absorption of dietary fat.
When injected in targeted locations under the skin, Kybella effectively breaks down fat cells, which the body clears through its natural metabolic processes. Once destroyed, the fat cells can never return to the area, so you should not need further Kybella injections after achieving your desired chin contours.
Candidates for Kybella double chin treatment are typically men and women over 18 wanting to eliminate their double chin without surgery or downtime. Dr. Garcia will evaluate your needs and help you determine if Kybella is right for you. During your consultation, be sure to mention any previous surgeries, cosmetic treatments, medical concerns, or current medications.
The Kybella treatment process begins with an evaluation of the area under the chin to tailor your treatment to your aesthetic goals. While many of our patients do not require local anesthetics, we’re happy to offer numbing cream for your comfort.
Dr. Garcia will use an ultra-fine needle to administer a series of injections in targeted areas under the chin. The procedure should take less than an hour to complete, with minimal to no discomfort, downtime, or recovery time.
The number of treatments needed may vary from person to person, with most people requiring 2-4 treatments spaced eight weeks apart. In some cases, we may recommend up to six sessions to achieve the desired results. Kybella produces dramatic transformations, improving your profile and chin contours.
Many individuals report a noticeable improvement in their chin contours and profile after just one treatment. However, improvement will continue gradually in the following weeks, with the full, stunning effects of treatment unfolding after the complete series of treatments. While results may vary from person to person, most of our patients report a significant reduction in their submental fullness, with an improved chin profile and jawline.
After achieving your desired results, you will not require further treatments. That’s because once fat cells are destroyed, your double chin will be gone for good! However, it’s important to note that weight gain can result in some fullness returning under the chin. While no new fat cells can develop in the area, the ones remaining after treatment can expand. However, since there are fewer fat cells, the fullness should not return to what it was prior to treatment.
