If you’re looking for a way to melt your double chin and reduce submental fullness, then our Kybella injections at LA Ageless may be just what you need. With the help of this treatment men and women can now achieve a more defined jawline while removing unwanted and pesky fat deposits.
The first and only injectable medicine with FDA approval for eliminating submental fat and lessening the appearance of moderate to severe submental fat is called Kybella. A synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, which is a chemical that naturally exists in the body and assists in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat, makes up the active component in Kybella. Kybella works to break down pesky fat deposits under the chin to achieve a beautiful and chiseled look.
Kybella® is a groundbreaking, FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to eliminate fat cells beneath the chin (under the chin) and other small pockets of fat on the body. In Kybella®, the active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a molecule present naturally in your body responsible for breaking down and absorbing dietary fat.
When Kybella® is injected into targeted fat deposits, deoxycholic acid disrupts the fat cell membrane, causing the fat cells to rupture and die. This process, known as lipolysis, results in the permanent elimination of those fat cells. Once destroyed, these fat cells cannot store or accumulate fat again. Over the following weeks after treatment, your body naturally metabolizes and clears away the dead fat cells to give you a slimmer, more contoured appearance.
Unlike temporary solutions that merely reduce the size of fat cells, Kybella® offers permanent fat reduction in the treated areas without surgery, scars, or lengthy downtime.
During your Kybella treatment you will be given a topical numbing medication that will be applied to make the treatment more comfortable. Once the numbing cream has started taking effect, Nurse Jess will mark the treatment areas that will be injected.
To lessen the amount of post-procedure swelling at the injection site, ice packs are immediately administered to the treatment region, and you are encouraged to sleep with your head raised on a pillow. That said, the treatment is relatively quick and normally takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.
Both Kybella® and CoolSculpting® aim to reduce stubborn fat, but they use fundamentally different methods:
Key Differences:
The purpose of liposuction is to physically remove fat cells from the body using suction through small incisions. It is highly effective for removing larger volumes of fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and arms.
Key Differences:
At La Ageless, our expert providers understand the science and artistry behind Kybella® treatments. We customize each session to your unique facial anatomy and fat distribution to deliver natural, harmonious results that enhance your profile without surgery or downtime.
Whether seeking to eliminate a stubborn double chin, refine jawline contours, or address smaller fat deposits on your body, Kybella® offers a proven, minimally invasive solution that fits your lifestyle and aesthetic goals.
The procedure of liposuction involves physically removing fat. It offers immediate results but requires anesthesia and downtime. Kybella® is minimally invasive with no surgery or scars, though it requires multiple treatments for gradual fat reduction.
Your treatment begins with a topical numbing agent for comfort. Nurse Jess will mark the injection areas; the procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes. Afterward, ice packs are applied to reduce swelling.
Most patients require 3-4 treatment sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. The amount of Kybella® used depends on the size of the fat deposit.
Once Kybella® destroys fat cells, they cannot store fat again. Healthy lifestyles, however, are essential for preventing remaining fat cells from expanding.
There may be swelling, bruising, or redness for 3-5 days post-treatment. Avoid intense exercise or hot yoga for a few days to minimize swelling.
Kybella® is FDA-approved and considered safe when administered by trained professionals. Side effects are generally mild and temporary.
LA Ageless medical aesthetics specializes in skin rejuvenation procedures that anti-age the skin and stimulate new collagen growth. We offer a broad range of solutions to improve the skin’s overall luster and glow without the “done” look.
