Kybella - Extract the Fat
This product uses Deoxycholic acid to disperse the fatty cells which allows the skin to
return to the jaw line. This then returns the face to a slim, younger looking you which
everybody wants. Although, the thought of acid under your skin may be scary, it is
something that naturally occurs in our bodies called ‘bile acid’. The body produces
this to extract the fatty cells from under the skin. Additionally, Kybella was approved
by the US Food and Drug Agency (FDA) in 2015, so is proven to be safe and effective.
The application of this product is done through 20-50 small injections under the chin
depending on the amount of fatty cells there. So, if you only have a small amount of
additional weight under the chin, fewer injections are required. Additionally, a
maximum of 6 treatments are recommended spaced in one month increments.
Again, if your double chin is minimal, then as few as three treatments would be
necessary.
When we have a blood test, there is often some localized bruising, swelling or
redness where the injection occurred. This is the same for this treatment due to the
nature of its application; however, there is no need for concern here and this will
dissipate after a few days. Other side effects from these injections can be a difficulty
in swallowing which heals itself within 3 days. Additionally, there is a possibility of an
uneven smile for up to a month, but none of these side effects are certain, merely
precautionary information. Weighing up this minimal effect and the overall gain of
sharper features and a younger appearance, there is little concern, simply benefits.
