Many people believe that having a double chin always means a person is overweight, but this is not always the case. Even among the fittest people, submental fullness can occur due to excess fat cells around the jaw and beneath the chin. At Sunshine Med Spa in Wildwood, FL, we offer Kybella to treat this issue. It helps you achieve a sculpted and more appealing chin profile by destroying the fat cells that cause your double chin.
What Does Kybella Do for You?
The only FDA-approved injectable designed to permanently reduce submental fullness underneath the chin, or what’s often called a double chin, is Kybella. With this injectable, you can achieve your aesthetic goals in an area that diet, weight loss, and fitness can’t reach: your jawline.
This product is based on an enzyme your body makes naturally. By injecting the same substance into your chin, fat cells are destroyed below the chin and in the jawline region, helping you achieve your aesthetic goals like no other method.
The Details
This injectable is primarily composed of deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a natural component of the human body, and it is responsible for helping the body digest and absorb fat on a daily basis.
Kybella’s creators realized, however, that deoxycholic acid had a wide range of uses besides simply breaking down fat in the body; it could be used to destroy fat under the chin as well. It slims and contours your entire face by destroying fat cells beneath the chin; and best of all, it’s an appropriate treatment for nearly anyone since deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring substance. That means allergic reactions are quite rare.
Why Do I Have a Double Chin?
It is possible for a double chin to develop for a variety of reasons. Genetics may play a role for some. Some people cannot lose their double chin, regardless of having a healthy weight, because the double chin is genetically predetermined. Submental fullness can also result from the aging process or a surge of body fat.
A double chin may form as a result of the fat distribution in your face and neck shifting with age. A person’s weight gain may appear most noticeable in certain areas, such as the chin. What matters is that Kybella is a powerful cosmetic injectable that is able to combat a double chin, whether it’s due to genetics, aging, weight gain, or a combination of all three.
Benefits to This Treatment
People with submental fullness who have been affected by their appearance and confidence are increasingly turning to this treatment. With this treatment, the effects are gradual, so you will never look like you have had a procedure performed to address your double chin. The contoured and sculpted profile of your chin will gradually develop.
It also takes just a few minutes for a treatment to be completed. You might need more than one treatment to achieve your goals, but these treatments won’t dictate your schedule and will not take up the entire day.
How the Treatment Process Works
To help target and destroy stubborn fat cells during treatment, the injection will be injected into strategic areas below the chin. The injections below the chin are performed by a skilled professional, and the entire procedure is usually completed within 15 to 20 minutes. Depending on how much fat is under the chin and what type of results patients hope to achieve, the total amount of injections required will vary.
In the next few months, the body will naturally eliminate fat cells that have previously been targeted by Kybella.
Does the Injection Process Hurt?
Sunshine Med Spa offers a wide variety of aesthetic services including cosmetic injectables that are administered by highly skilled and experienced professionals. All steps will be taken to ensure your comfort during the entire treatment. You should not expect any pain or discomfort during your treatment!
Approximately How Many Treatments Will I Need?
A series of two to four sessions is usually the most effective for most patients. The maximum number of treatments a patient can receive is six, with an interval of one month between sessions. In your consultation, we will craft your treatment plan to include the number of sessions needed to meet your goals. Each time you visit our clinic, we will administer small injections below your chin to target your fat cells.
Results
Gradual results are achieved with this treatment. Your body needs time to eliminate the fat cells that are injected with Kybella. In most cases, patients are able to see a positive change within a few weeks of their first treatment.
It is possible to make positive changes by scheduling and attending the recommended number of sessions. At your initial consultation, your injector can help you determine how soon you will notice results.
Do the Results Last?
The best thing about this treatment is that it does deliver permanent results. Once your body removes the dead cells from that area through the lymphatic system, you no longer have to worry about them. There is a predetermined number of fat cells in your body, and these fat cells are all formed by the time you are adolescent; your body does not make fat cells after you enter adulthood.
Your body cannot create new fat cells below your chin or anywhere else; however, if you gain weight, your results could be affected. There is a possibility that the remaining fat cells beneath your chin could expand, which can cause you to develop a double chin again.
How Can I Maintain Results?
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle that includes a moderate diet and regular exercise will ensure permanent results. A healthy lifestyle can help prevent you from gaining weight and developing a double chin in the future.
Good Candidates
