What is KYBELLA®?
KYBELLA® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells in the treatment area under the chin, armpit and back bra.
HOW KYBELLA® WORKS
The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin, armpit and back around bra area. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.
WHAT TO EXPECT WITH KYBELLA®
Before starting treatment, we will examine the area under and around your chin, back or armpit to determine if KYBELLA® is right for you. Then, Jessica will tailor your treatment to the amount of fat and your aesthetic goals.
HOW MANY KYBELLA® TREATMENT SESSIONS WILL I NEED?
Since everyone’s chin profile is different, the number of treatments varies from patient to patient. Your healthcare specialist will help determine how many treatment sessions you need based on the amount and distribution of your submental fat and your personal treatment goals. Each KYBELLA® treatment session is given at least 1 month apart, and you should not receive more than 6 treatments. In clinical studies, 59% of patients received 6 treatments.
WILL I NEED TIME TO RECOVER?
After KYBELLA®treatment, you will likely have some swelling, bruising, or numbness to the treated area. All swelling bruising and/or numbness should go away within a week to 10 days following the procedure.
KYBELLA® MAY BE RIGHT FOR YOU IF:
You’re bothered (unhappy, self-conscious, embarrassed) by fat under the chin, armpit or back around your bra
You feel the condition makes you look older or heavier than you actually are
You don’t want to have surgery
You eat well and exercise, but the fullness does not go away
