Before jumping into the time frame of how long this amazing treatment lasts, let’s discuss more about this treatment and what exactly it is.

Kybella is a quick and minimally invasive treatment. That can permanently melt away the fat cells under your chin. It will allow you to achieve that perfect profile you’ve always dreamed of. 

Results of Kybella

The method we use here at Core Medical Group is one of the most effective treatments for submental fullness. It consists of a series of injections, and the substance used, deoxycholic acid, that kills the fat cells under your chin.

Over time, the body breaks down and absorbs your dead cells. The volume of your chin decreases. Because humans stop producing new fat cells in their teenage years, adults can expect permanent results from this treatment. Once the number of cells in your chin has been reduced, the tissue won’t re-appear. 

About Kybella

When Kybella is injected into the fat beneath the chin, it destroys the fat cells. It results in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. So, further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired look. 

How painful is Kybella?

Every person has a different pain tolerance, some patients have said that the injection site felt “strange and tender” for approximately 30 minutes after the injections and others noted that it was mildly “uncomfortable” but still tolerable.

What is the best age to get Kybella?

There is no specific age that is best recommended for this treatment, however many patients come to us after their “double chin” has been problematic after many years. As long as a patient is over 18 years of age and a good candidate, which can be determined by one of our providers here at Core Medical Group, then they can undergo Kybella successfully. 

What is the bullfrog effect on Kybella? 

The first treatment with Kybella injections will typically produce the most swelling since the most significant amount of fat is generally treated during this time. Each treatment takes about 15-35 minutes. Regarding down time, there is no physical down time with Kybella. However, some may suggest social down time, typically for 3 to 4 days after treatment due to resultant redness and swelling. The swelling is due to the process of fat cells swelling to the point of rupture.

After Care for Kybella

Swelling means that fat cells are breaking apart and fat cells will dissolve as swelling subsides. Average time for swelling is 11 days. This swelling is perfectly normal and re-assures us that the treatment is working.

Can Kybella work after 1 treatment?

Kybella usually requires between two to six treatments that are spaced a month apart to achieve the desired results. Every patient has a different end goal, our providers will slope a custom plan once you come to our office to decide how many treatments are best for you.
