Are you currently unhappy with your appearance? Specifically, do you have a double chin that is holding you back? Unfortunately, we live in a world where a lot of weight is put upon our appearance, more so, how we look to others. And while you should never worry about people judging you on your looks, you do deserve to be happy.
Available at Aesthetic Art Facial Rejuvenation in Palm Springs, CA, Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that can successfully destroy fat cells under the chin, ultimately improving your profile. That’s right: say goodbye to your double chin with Kybella.
Used in adults to help improve their appearance and attack unwanted fat beneath the chin, Kybella is a prescription medicine that has, as mentioned above, been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration since 2015. Further, this treatment is performed using a nonsurgical injection technique, making it more convenient to pursue.
According to Healthline.com, during an initial Kybella clinical trial, 82.4 percent of people reported that changes in their appearance were significantly improved, meaning a majority of patients were met with effective results. More so, during this same clinical trial, the treatment was deemed both safe and effective.
To attack the fat cells under the chin, Kybella uses a series of deoxycholic acid injections, making it impossible for fat to be stored in the area. The best candidates for Kybella treatments are those who are dissatisfied with their appearance, mainly their double chin, as well as individuals who are at least 18 years in age. However, Kybella may not be the best choice for those who have either had or are planning to have facial surgery, trouble swallowing, pregnant, nursing, or have an infection or medical condition.
If you would like to know whether or not you would be a good candidate for Kybella treatments, make sure to contact your doctor. You should be prepared to answer personal questions, particularly about your health and medical history.
Since Kybella is a nonsurgical treatment, there is not much that needs to be done prior to treatment. You will have to call the Palm Desert, CA facility to schedule your appointment. It will also be necessary to completely wash your face before treatment, as doing so could reduce the risk for infection. To prevent post-treatment bruising, make sure you avoid ibuprofen and other, like medications.
One of the biggest benefits of scheduling a Kybella treatment: the treatment itself only takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Therefore, many individuals opt to have the procedure performed during the lunch hour, before returning to work or their normal, daily activities. Further, no downtime is needed following treatment.
The number of treatments needed will be determined by the individual, depending on his or her treatment goals. To achieve the best results, multiple Kybella treatments may be needed. A patient can receive up to six Kybella treatments, with a month needed between each session. Remember, though, results are permanent, as fat will no longer be stored underneath the chin.
As with any type of cosmetic treatment or procedure, risks and complications are always a possibility – Kybella treatments are no different. Yet, when the procedure is performed by a trained professional, the chances of risks and/or complications occurring are less likely to take place.
It is significant to note that after treatment, it is typical to experience swelling, bruising, and numbness under the chin. However, these minor issues are only temporary. If you do happen to develop an uneven smile or facial weakness, you should contact your doctor immediately.
Other possible side effects of a Kybella treatment can include pain, redness, and areas of hardness.
The price of the Kybella procedure will differ from patient to patient. For example, the more treatments you wish to purchase will ultimately alter your total charge. You can contact our professional staff to learn about possible payment plans and options.
