What Is Kybella?
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.
How Does Kybella Work?
A non-surgical injectable procedure called Kybella may permanently eliminate double chin fat. Deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the digestion and absorption of dietary fat, is a substance that is present in Kybella in a synthetic form. These fat cells are swiftly eliminated after receiving an injection of Kybella into the submental region or double chin. The breakdown of fat cells is referred to as lipolysis. Injections of Kybella stop these fat cells from storing fat in their damaged cells. Following Kybella injections, these fat cells are naturally eliminated from the body during the following weeks, usually 4 to 6 weeks.
What Is Involved In The Kybella Treatment?
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.

Recovery Following Kybella Treatments
Patients often experience edema after Kybella injections for three to five days. Exercise, any intense activity, or hot yoga should be avoided for a few days following treatment since they might prolong the swelling and worsen bruising.
How Many Kybella Treatments Are Needed For The Best Results?
To treat the double chin, typically two vials of Kybella are required each treatment, with 3 to 4 sessions. One vial of Kybella may be sufficient if the submental fat is extremely small. In two to four therapy sessions, the majority of patients see benefits.
Similar to this, 3 vials may be necessary to minimize the double chin region with up to 6 treatment sessions if there is a significant amount of submental fat.
