When it comes to some cosmetic treatments, the sooner you have them performed, the better. This is especially true for procedures that offer gradual results and may take some time to realize such as Kybella. Kybella is perfect for patients who struggle with a persistent double chin. Luckily, Kybella can help these patients reduce their double chins gradually and discreetly. Electing to have your Kybella treatment started this season, can ensure an improved neck contour in 2019. Why not start on making next year your best one yet?
Why Double Chins are So Persistent
Also described as submental fullness, double chins are the excess fat that develops right below the lower jawline. While the cosmetic condition is commonly associated with age and weight gain, submental fat accumulates on patients even in their 20s or 30s. Furthermore, factors like genetic predisposition, skin laxity and posture can all worsen the appearance of double chins.
Compared to other accumulations of fat cells, double chins cannot easily be targeted with diet and exercise. Traditional treatments for removing excess tissue include the facelift, necklift, and submental liposuction. While these are popular permanent options, the surgery requirement often makes these options less attractive to patients who are not eligible for surgery or prefer not to undergo the knife. For these patients, surgery-free options like Kybella are an excellent and effective alternative.
Kybella: Add Definition without Surgical Intervention
Kybella is an FDA-approved prescription medication designed specifically to target submental fullness and add definition to the jawline. Much like traditional surgery, this innovative injectable permanently eliminates the fat cells accumulated below the jawline, creating long-lasting results. Unlike surgery that physically removes cells, Kybella uses deoxycholic acid, a compound similar to a fat burning substance naturally produced by the body. When introduced via injection to the double chin, this active ingredient destroys the excess fat cells. Over the course of several injections, more and more cells are destroyed and naturally removed from the body through the lymphatic system.
Why We Recommend Kybella
The non-surgical nature of this solution offers several important benefits to patients. For starters, while Kybella treatment is completed over the course of several injections, each treatment session is completed in quick 15-minute visits. As the medication is administered using an ultra-fine hypodermic needle, there is minimal discomfort during and after each session. Most patients are able to come in for treatment during their lunch breaks, making it a simple and discreet solution that fits every hectic schedule.
Discretion is another important benefit many of our patients appreciate. As these injections use a natural-based compound to destroy fat cells, the results are gradually noticeable. Combined with the negligible downtime, Kybella is an excellent option for patients who want to improve their appearance without looking like they’ve undergone treatment.
Among its many benefits, Kybella offers the distinct advantage of providing patients with surgical-like results without having to go through with traditional plastic surgery. While the overall treatment time is slightly longer due to the several treatment sessions, once Kybella injections are completed and the unwanted fat cells are permanently eliminated, patients don’t need to worry about their double chin ever returning. For patients young and old, this is a critical advantage.

Are you currently unhappy with your appearance? Specifically, do you have a double chin that is holding you back? Unfortunately, we live in a world where a lot of weight is put upon our appearance, more so, how we look to others. And while you should never worry about people judging you on your looks, you do deserve to be happy.
Available at Aesthetic Art Facial Rejuvenation in Palm Springs, CA, Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that can successfully destroy fat cells under the chin, ultimately improving your profile. That’s right: say goodbye to your double chin with Kybella.
Used in adults to help improve their appearance and attack unwanted fat beneath the chin, Kybella is a prescription medicine that has, as mentioned above, been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration since 2015. Further, this treatment is performed using a nonsurgical injection technique, making it more convenient to pursue.
According to Healthline.com, during an initial Kybella clinical trial, 82.4 percent of people reported that changes in their appearance were significantly improved, meaning a majority of patients were met with effective results. More so, during this same clinical trial, the treatment was deemed both safe and effective.
To attack the fat cells under the chin, Kybella uses a series of deoxycholic acid injections, making it impossible for fat to be stored in the area. The best candidates for Kybella treatments are those who are dissatisfied with their appearance, mainly their double chin, as well as individuals who are at least 18 years in age. However, Kybella may not be the best choice for those who have either had or are planning to have facial surgery, trouble swallowing, pregnant, nursing, or have an infection or medical condition.
If you would like to know whether or not you would be a good candidate for Kybella treatments, make sure to contact your doctor. You should be prepared to answer personal questions, particularly about your health and medical history.
Since Kybella is a nonsurgical treatment, there is not much that needs to be done prior to treatment. You will have to call the Palm Desert, CA facility to schedule your appointment. It will also be necessary to completely wash your face before treatment, as doing so could reduce the risk for infection. To prevent post-treatment bruising, make sure you avoid ibuprofen and other, like medications.
One of the biggest benefits of scheduling a Kybella treatment: the treatment itself only takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Therefore, many individuals opt to have the procedure performed during the lunch hour, before returning to work or their normal, daily activities. Further, no downtime is needed following treatment.
The number of treatments needed will be determined by the individual, depending on his or her treatment goals. To achieve the best results, multiple Kybella treatments may be needed. A patient can receive up to six Kybella treatments, with a month needed between each session. Remember, though, results are permanent, as fat will no longer be stored underneath the chin.
As with any type of cosmetic treatment or procedure, risks and complications are always a possibility – Kybella treatments are no different. Yet, when the procedure is performed by a trained professional, the chances of risks and/or complications occurring are less likely to take place.
It is significant to note that after treatment, it is typical to experience swelling, bruising, and numbness under the chin. However, these minor issues are only temporary. If you do happen to develop an uneven smile or facial weakness, you should contact your doctor immediately.
Other possible side effects of a Kybella treatment can include pain, redness, and areas of hardness.
The price of the Kybella procedure will differ from patient to patient. For example, the more treatments you wish to purchase will ultimately alter your total charge. You can contact our professional staff to learn about possible payment plans and options.
