Kybella®
Kybella®
Kybella starts at 475$ per vial (typically require 2+ vials)
The only FDA-approved injectable drug effectively shrinks submental fat, also known as "double chin." Sometimes no matter how much we diet or exercise, stubborn fat areas will remain, submental fullness can be genetic or part of the natural aging process. Previously this area could only be treated with liposuction. This treatment may require more than one vial and at least one to five sessions. The procedure takes forty minutes to perform.
The pros of this treatment include:
- Decreased fullness of submentum
- Results are seen in a few weeks
- Completely non-invasive procedure
- Minimal downtime
The Treatment
Double Chin
Slenderize your chin with a Kybella injection. Permanently diminish fat cells and tighten your chin for a youthful appearance.
Jowls
Do you have fleshy pockets of fat on the lower face that sag and drag? This looks unappealing and can make you appear older. As elastin and collagen decrease, jowls worsen and will tangibly appear. Get a refreshed appearance and diminish those jowls.
Bra Bulge
With a Kybella injection, the fat beneath your armpits will go poof! If it’s difficult to slim this area with exercise, this treatment is for you. The injectable is administered to the targeted area during the procedure to treat fat cells permanently.
Inner Thighs
Get a slimmer dazzling appearance with a Kybella injection on each side of the inner thighs. Results are permanent. You may get two to three vials per side each session.
PRE AND POST CARE INSTRUCTIONS
- Arrange your Kybella® session at least 2-4 weeks before any significant events like weddings or vacations to allow for recovery from potential bruising and swelling.
- If you develop a severe rash, cold sore, or blemish in the area to be treated, please reschedule your appointment at least 48 hours beforehand.
- Unless your healthcare provider suggests otherwise, men are advised to shave the area to be treated one day before their appointment.
- Eating a meal beforehand reduces the risk of feeling faint during your procedure. Inform your provider if you have a history of fainting.
- Do not apply creams, lotions, perfumes, or makeup to the area scheduled for treatment before your appointment.
- Refrain from taking anti-inflammatory or blood-thinning medications for 10-14 days before and 3-4 days after the treatment. This includes Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, Vitamin E, Gingko Biloba, Ginseng, St. John's Wort, and other NSAIDs, which can heighten the risk of bruising and swelling.
- Avoid alcohol for one week before your treatment, as it can thin the blood and heighten the risk of bruising.
- Consider starting Arnica tablets one week before your injections to help prevent bruising.
- Steer clear of extreme heat sources like Jacuzzis or hot showers for 24 hours after the treatment.
- Do not consume alcoholic beverages or high-sodium foods for three days following your treatment to prevent excessive swelling.
- Avoid high-intensity physical activities for 24 hours after your treatment.
- Sleep with your head elevated and lie on your back to help reduce swelling.
