Diet and exercise are wonderful tools for managing excess fat, but there are some regions that even the most meticulous regimens cannot target. A double chin may cause you to feel self-conscious, but it is difficult to target chin fat on your own. Thankfully, we offer Kybella injections at our Frisco office to eliminate your unwanted double chin!
This popular and effective injectable treatment is a wonderful non-surgical choice that we offer at our Med Spa to help slim down your chin and neck area.
Kybella is the first FDA-approved injectable treatment for targeting your submental fat, which is located under your jawline and contributes to the formation of a double chin. Since the chin region is difficult to target during a workout, it can be challenging to reduce the submental fat that builds up.
Kybella contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, a bile acid derivative that helps break down the fat in your chin. The active ingredient disrupts adipocyte membranes, breaking them down and destroying the fat cells. Afterwards, your body naturally disposes of the fat cells via its lymphatic and metabolic systems.
For patients in Frisco, a Kybella treatment session begins by mapping the targeted injection zone around the chin. It is common to use a one-centimeter grid pattern to systematically deliver the small volumes of Kybella that evenly dissolve fat and help you achieve your ideal aesthetic.
When you arrive for your treatment, we will escort you to a comfortable room where we apply a local, topical anesthetic. Our certified nurse injectors make multiple injections into the submental fat pad using a fine needle. Injections are usually administered during a 15- to 20-minute window, and the number of injections and dosage are based on the volume of your submental fat and the anatomy of your jawline.
You can achieve the best Kybella results by attending six treatment sessions. For optimal results, we suggest you attend one session a month for the full six-month period.
There is little to no downtime after you receive Kybella injections. There are, however, some tips that will help you maximize the outcomes of your treatment.
Immediately after your Kybella injections at our Frisco office, you can apply a cold compress to the treated area to help reduce swelling and potential discomfort. You should also elevate your head, especially when sleeping, to help minimize the fluid buildup that can occur.
You deserve to feel comfortable and confident with the way you look. If your double chin concerns you, contact us today to learn how you can benefit from Kybella in Frisco.
