KYBELLA is an FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to target and eliminate moderate to severe fat below the chin, commonly known as a double chin. A double chin is caused by submental fullness, or a gathering of excess, stubborn fat beneath the chin, as a result of genetics, aging, or gaining weight. KYBELLA’s active ingredient, synthetic deoxycholic acid, naturally occurs in the body and helps break down and absorb dietary fat.
When injected into submental fat, KYBELLA effectively destroys fat cells. Once destroyed, these cells cannot store or accumulate fat again, leading to a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin and an improved chin profile. If you’re seeking a safe, effective, and minimally invasive way to tackle submental fullness, KYBELLA at Geria Dermatology might be the perfect solution for you.
KYBELLA offers several key benefits, including:
Ideal candidates for KYBELLA are adults who are troubled by submental fat that creates the appearance of a double chin. This treatment is suitable for those seeking a non-surgical solution to this issue. Candidates should be in good physical health and have realistic expectations about the results.
KYBELLA is particularly effective for individuals who haven’t seen results from diet and exercise alone. As always, a consultation with one of our qualified providers is essential to determine if KYBELLA is the right option based on individual health status and aesthetic goals.
The first step to begin KYBELLA treatment in New Jersey at Geria Dermatology is to schedule a consultation with our team of experts. During this consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your concerns about submental fullness, learn more about the KYBELLA treatment, and determine if it’s the right option for you.
Our team at Geria Dermatology will assess your condition, answer any questions you have, and develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. You can easily book this initial consultation by contacting Geria Dermatology through our website or by phone.
On the day of a KYBELLA treatment, the appointment typically begins with a final review of the treatment plan and a discussion of any last-minute questions or concerns. Your provider will then mark the specific injection sites under the chin, ensuring precise targeting of the excess fat.
The KYBELLA injection process itself is relatively quick with the total number of injections depending on your desired profile and the amount of fat present. A topical numbing agent or local anesthesia may be used to minimize any potential discomfort. The entire procedure is quick, usually lasting around 15 to 20 minutes.
The recovery process following a KYBELLA treatment is usually quite manageable, with most patients experiencing minimal downtime. Patients are typically able to leave immediately after the treatment and can return to most daily activities.
Common side effects include swelling, bruising, and numbness around the injection site, which typically resolve within a few days to a week. Patients are often advised to apply ice or a cold pack to the treated area to help reduce swelling and to avoid strenuous activities for up to a week to help facilitate healing.
Keeping the area clean and avoiding excessive touching is also recommended for optimal healing. While most people can return to their daily routines soon after the procedure, it’s important to closely follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by the healthcare provider for optimal results and to minimize potential complications.
