If you’ve been on social media or watched the news over the last few years, chances are you’ve heard of Kybella®. Recipient of the “Breakthrough Award” from Allure Magazine in 2015, Kybella has been making headlines since its debut. So what is Kybella and what do you need to know about this treatment?
Here are 9 must-know facts about Kybella:
Deoxycholic acid naturally occurs in our intestinal tract and is responsible for the breakdown of dietary fats. Kybella’s main ingredient is a synthetic (made in a lab) version of this molecule.
Because of its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, Kybella’s mechanism of action works by destroying the walls of fat cells where it is injected.
Once these targeted fat cell walls are destroyed, they can’t be restored. No cell wall= no fat cell= permanent results.
Kybella received FDA-approval for the treatment of submental fullness (commonly known as the double-chin) in 2015, thus changing our jawlines and profiles forever!
Kybella is a non-invasive, non-surgical injectable treatment that permanently eliminates fat cells. This means you can achieve gorgeous results without surgery. No scalpel, no stitches, and no general anesthesia required.
Kybella is owned by Allergan®, the makers of Botox® and Juvederm®.
What does this mean for the consumer? Mainly accountability and safety, but it also means big savings! Allergan’s Brilliant Distinctions program allows you to earn points which convert to savings on all Allergan treatments, including Kybella.
Time spent in the treatment room will vary based on factors such as the total size of the treatment area, which injector you choose, and each patient’s desired results- but on average, injections take around 20 minutes. Full results can typically be seen in 2-4 treatments.
Unlike a surgical procedure, Kybella is performed in an outpatient setting and requires no long-term down-time. While there are possible side effects, the most commonly experienced are swelling, bruising, and numbness of the treatment area.
Whether you have a large or small amount of unwanted double-chin fat, Kybella is beautifully customizable. Also, since it’s a non-surgical treatment, it can easily be tailored to each patient’s desired results. Skin by Lovely Injection Specialists have even achieved stunning results in diminishing fat in the ‘jowl’ area of the face.
