KYBELLAIssuing time:2024-05-17 16:49 About KYBELLA KYBELLA® is the only FDA-approved injection therapy that targets fat cells in the area beneath the chin, improving your profile. How KYBELLA® Works The active ingredient in KYBELLA is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness beneath the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so once you achieve your desired aesthetic goals, further treatment is not necessary. Before starting treatment, your healthcare provider will examine the area beneath your chin and surrounding areas to determine if KYBELLA® is right for you. Then, your expert will customize your treatment plan based on the amount and distribution of fat beneath your chin and your aesthetic goals. How many KYBELLA treatment sessions do I need? Since everyone's chin profile is different, the number of treatments will vary from patient to patient. We will help determine how many treatments you need based on the amount and distribution of fat under your chin and your personal treatment goals. Each KYBELLA® treatment session is spaced at least 1 month apart, and you should not receive more than 6 treatments. In clinical studies, 59% of patients received 6 treatments. Is there downtime? After KYBELLA® treatment, you may experience some swelling, bruising, or numbness beneath your chin. If you experience uneven smile, facial muscle weakness, difficulty swallowing, or issues at the injection site such as bruising, hair loss, or open sores (ulcers), please be sure to inform us. What information should I tell my injector before treatment?
