If you are looking for a way to eliminate small deposits of fat without surgery, Kybella® may be the solution for you. Kybella ® is an FDA-approved injectable solution that uses synthetic deoxycholic acid to break down fat cells in the targeted treatment area. Keep reading to learn more about Kybella® and how it can benefit you.
While this article spells out some important information about Kybella, and we highly recommend you read the full article, here are the key points we will focus on:
Kybella ® is the first and only FDA-approved non-surgical solution for removing fat under the chin. The active ingredient in Kybella® is synthetic deoxycholic acid, which works at a cellular level to break down fat cells and permanently eliminate them.
Kybella® is a non-surgical treatment option. This means that there is no downtime required after your treatment. You will be able to resume your normal activities immediately following the procedure.
The results of Kybella® treatment are permanent. Once the fat cells are eliminated, they will not return.
Kybella® is FDA approved to treat moderate to severe fat below the chin, also known as submental fullness. Kybella® can be used to treat a variety of areas on the body where there are small deposits of fat. These include the arms, legs, and abdomen.
The face is one of the most commonly treated areas with Kybella®. This is because the fat in this area can contribute to aged or tired appearance. Kybella® injections can help to eliminate this excess fat, giving you a more youthful appearance.
Many patients have Kybella® injection treatment in the knee area to treat excess fat deposits that make their knees look bulky. Kybella® injections can help to contour the knee and give you a sleeker appearance.
The ideal candidate for Kybella® injections is an adult patient who wants to eliminate small deposits of fat on their face or body without surgery. The patient should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results of Kybella®.
Kybella® and Coolsculpting are both minimally-invasive treatments for the reduction of submental fat, or a double chin. Coolsculpting works by freezing the fat cells in the targeted area, which causes cell apoptosis (death). Kybella® works by chemically breaking down fat cells. Both Kybella and Coolsculpting can eliminate the total number of fat cells in the treated area, but Kybella is the only procedure available that is able to target small, well-defined, areas of fat accumulation resulting in precise contouring. At Bryn Mawr Dermatology, we often combine the powerful debulking abilities of Coolsculpting and the precise defining capabilities of Kybella® to get optimal results.
