You're probably wondering if Kybella is a temporary improvement or a permanent procedure. What you need to know is that because Kybella kills fat cells, it is considered permanent. Once the fat cells are dead, they're dead. However, you can develop new fat cells.

After the injected material dissolves fat tissues in the chin area, the affected cells are permanently removed by way of the body's natural waste processes. Benefits typically associated with Kybella® treatment include: No need for incisions. Little or no downtime.

Submental fat along the jawline, the double chin, is exactly the area in which the Kybella treatment was designed for. Kybella has been proven to be safe and effective in creating a more beautiful defined jawline and chin in patients with little to no downtime.

Kybella will help you get results faster, while CoolSculpting may be the better option if you want to lessen the discomfort felt during the procedure. Kybella is best used to treat small areas of fat, but CoolSculpting can treat larger necks and lateral areas.

It usually takes between four and six weeks for the results of a single treatment to gradually appear. For some patients, just one treatment is enough to resolve their fullness. For others, four or six treatments may be recommended, with six being the maximum number of sessions any patient receives.

As a general rule of thumb, you can expect your Kybella results to last a lifetime. This is because your body can't create new fat cells past the age of 25, and the synthetic deoxycholic acid in the injectable destroys a percentage of the fat cells in the targeted areas.

KYBELLA® is a prescription medicine used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called “double chin.” It is not known if KYBELLA® is safe and effective for the treatment of fat outside of the submental area or in children under 18 years of age.

Yes, Kybella® results are permanent since destroyed fat cells can no longer store fat. As for how many treatments it takes to see the desired results, this is generally determined after results are observed from your initial session.

Do NOT consume alcohol or sodium for 3 days post treatment to avoid excess swelling. Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours post treatment. Sleep on your back with your head elevated to decrease swelling.
