Kybella | FDA Approved Double Chin Treatment
Are you bothered by a double chin or thickness below your jawline? Known as submental fat, fullness beneath the chin frequently does not respond to diet and exercise. If your double chin woes are making you look heavier or older than you are, Kybella could be your answer. A prescription medicine injected into the affected area, Kybella breaks down fat below the chin, and your body eliminates it. With a series of treatments, results are significant and permanent. Now things, including your chin, are really looking up!
Kybella for Double Chins
If a double chin affects your self-esteem, but cosmetic surgery is not for you, Kybella can help. The first and only FDA-approved nonsurgical treatment that contours and improves the appearance of submental fullness, Kybella is made of synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down fat. Below your chin, the medicine works in a similar way to destroy fat cells. Because the fat cells are eliminated, your results are permanent.
To achieve maximum results, Kybella is performed in a series of treatments spaced about two months apart. We will recommend a treatment plan that meets your individual need, but most patients require 2 treatments as Kybella works over time to gradually decrease the fat stored under your chin.
Kybella for Body Fat Reduction!
Did you know that Kybella is no longer just for your double chin? Kybella can also be used off label to treat stubborn bra fat and back fat.
These areas can be very difficult to treat with diet/exercise and are often resistant to these methods alone and Kybella is quick and effective. There is no downtime and typical side effects are some bruising and swelling.
The ideal candidate is able to pinch and feel fat in the “bra bulge” or back area. Multiple treatments may be required.
Double Chin Treatments
Down with Double Chins
A double chin used to be fate – if you were “blessed” with one, you were probably stuck with it unless you wanted to undergo expensive, invasive surgery. But with recent technological breakthroughs, we can now offer three safe, effective treatments for improving the appearance of your chin and jawline. At Elite Med Spa, we know that one size does not fit all, so with three options to choose from, we can recommend the best treatment or treatment combination for your special double-chin distress.
Kybella
This injectable prescription medicine breaks down fat stored beneath the chin with a series of 2-6 treatments. Results are permanent.
Ultherapy
Sometimes what appears to be a double chin is really loose, sagging skin. Ultherapy is non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, thereby lifting and firming the skin. Results appear gradually during the 6-8 months following treatment and last for about two years before a touch-up is needed.
