When it comes to enhancing one's appearance and boosting self-confidence, the chin often plays a more significant role than one might think. A double chin, medically known as submental fullness, can be a stubborn issue, resistant to diet and exercise. Thankfully, advancements in aesthetic medicine have brought us Kybella injections, a revolutionary treatment to address this concern. Here, at Nuance Aesthetics in Salt Lake City, UT, we're proud to offer Kybella - a targeted approach to reduce and potentially eliminate the dreaded double chin.
Kybella injections are the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells under the chin to improve your profile. Comprising a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid—a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat—Kybella is specifically designed to target and eliminate fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat, leading to noticeable results that last.
The treatment involves a series of small injections under the chin, precisely administered by a trained healthcare provider. The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, then goes to work, gradually destroying fat cells over time. The cell debris is then metabolized by the body and naturally eliminated. Most patients achieve their desired outcomes after 2 to 4 treatment sessions spaced at least one month apart, with up to 6 treatments being necessary in some cases.
Choosing Kybella injections at Nuance Aesthetics in Salt Lake City comes with numerous benefits:
Ideal candidates for Kybella injections are adults with moderate to severe fat beneath the chin who wish for a non-surgical method to improve their profile. It's important to have realistic expectations and understand that Kybella treats fat under the chin, not loose skin.
During your consultation at Nuance Aesthetics, we'll assess your health history, examine the treatment area, and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine if Kybella is the suitable treatment for you.
Before starting treatment, our provider will mark the injection sites with a special grid. Then, using a fine needle, Kybella is injected into the fat under the chin. You may feel a slight burning or stinging sensation during the injection, which is normal and temporary.
Post-treatment, you might experience swelling, bruising, or numbness under your chin, which typically subsides within a week or two. While recovery is relatively quick, the outcome unfolds gradually. Noticeable results often appear after 2 to 4 sessions but can vary from person to person.
