Kybella® Albany
Kybella was authorised by the FDA in 2015 and has since been used safely and successfully on people who want to get rid of their double chin without surgery. Kybella is a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, a bile-like substance occurring naturally in the intestine.
Deoxycholic acid is involved in the irreversible destruction of fat cells. It dissolves the membranes that surround fat cells and causes them to release their contents when injected beneath the chin. This waste product is subsequently expelled by the body.
Fat cells will not return once they have been eliminated. Kybella is a therapy that not only destroys subcutaneous fat cells behind the chin but also tightens the skin, according to those who have had it done. Neocollagenesis (the production of new collagen) is triggered while the body heals. Collagen synthesis is increased in the treated region, which results in firmer skin beneath the chin and a modest lift.
Ideal Candidates
Individuals who may benefit from Kybella include those who:
- Are healthy and active, and close to or at their ideal weight
- Have a double chin or submental fullness that is not shifted by diet or exercise
- Wish to remove their double chin nonsurgically, without any downtime
Are There Any Risks Or Side Effects?
Kybella is delivered by injections in the submental area (beneath the chin). Before the procedure begins, your injector will carefully mark out the injection sites in a grid-like format. A topical numbing agent or ice pack is provided to minimize any discomfort and prepare the area for the injections.
Most patients receive 20-30 injections in one treatment, but some receive up to 50. Over the coming weeks, the acid works gradually to eliminate fat cells. The number of procedures required depend on the individual, with most people requiring between 4 and 6 sessions to achieve optimal results. You will need to allow for at least one month between treatments
