Kybella® for Double Chin Treatment
Many men and women, especially in this day and age of "selfies," are bothered by the existence of a double chin. The region behind the chin is particularly prone to the buildup of excessive fat, resulting in a heavy look or bulge that might be difficult to lose volume. KYBELLA®, an injectable treatment for minimizing the appearance of a double chin, can help you enhance your profile and raise your self-esteem. KYBELLA ®'s active component works to break down targeted fat, leaving a defined, beautiful chin in its wake. The body's natural systems discharge fat cells from the treatment region when they get damaged.
How does Kybella® treatment work?
Our experts in OC Beauty Med Spa perform your KYBELLA® treatment by following a series of processes. First, your skin will be cleansed. We may also use a little topical anesthetic to make you comfortable, according to your preferences. We will make roughly 10-20 tiny injections at the treatment site during the session after the therapy begins, while the exact number may vary and may change from the range specified. The goal of several little injections is to uniformly distribute the medication to the spot so that the progressive reduction of the double chin appears natural and does not become deformed. This ensures that the product is evenly distributed and that the results are successful and natural-looking. The injections are only a few seconds long, and the whole procedure takes around 30 minutes. Within 2 to 3 days, the majority of individuals are back to full activity. You should not experience any considerable recuperation or downtime, besides some mild side effects.
What are the potential side-effects of Kybella®?
Despite the fact that Kybella is a non-surgical treatment, it can cause minor discomfort, swelling, bruising, redness, and numbness. In most circumstances, the recuperation period connected with Kybella is low, although downtime varies from person to person. Minor side effects normally go away in a week or two.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kybella®
What exactly is Kybella®?
Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable drug that is used to reduce fat beneath the chin. With our fully educated personnel, OC Beauty Med Spa is glad to provide this therapy.
What regions may Kybella® be used to treat?
The FDA has given Kybella® approval to treat the appearance and profile of submental fullness caused by submental fat. The term "submental" refers to the region beneath the chin. A double chin is a term that has been used to describe the fullness (fat) in this region. The use of Kybella® to treat a double chin has shown great results without the need for liposuction surgery.
Are there any Kybella® uses that aren't listed on the label?
Bra roll, minor fat pockets on the stomach are some of the off-label treatment locations being investigated with Kybella®.
Is Kybella® or Liposuction better for double chin treatment?
Kybella® is a non-invasive treatment for double chins. It allows you to address tiny fat pockets without having to go under the knife. Kybella® helps you to get back to your usual routine in no time, with minimal downtime and nearly no pain.
Liposuction is an invasive surgical treatment that has certain added risks due to the fact that you will be sedated. The recovery period is usually lengthier, and the location may leave a minor scar. We provide both, and OC Beauty Med Spa recommends that you discuss all of your options with us before deciding on the treatment that is best for you and your requirements.
What should be done to prepare for the Kybella® procedure?
Because Kybella® is a non-invasive procedure, it requires minimal preparation. It's essential to arrange the operation well in advance of any key events. Preventing post-treatment bruising by avoiding ibuprofen and acetaminophen and cleaning your face thoroughly before the appointment can help reduce the risk of infection.
How long does it take to recover after Kybella® injections?
Kybella®'s recuperation is relatively painless. For around 15 minutes following the injections, you may experience some soreness. Following treatment, patients may suffer soreness and/or numbness in the treated region. Swelling is a side effect of Kybella®, which we warn our clients about. This swelling is one method to know if Kybella® is working, and it's also beneficial because it can lead to skin tightness as well as fat loss.
Here in OC Beauty Med Spa, we suggest you allow three to five days for swelling. Following that, the swelling will be minor for the following few weeks, and you and your immediate family will most likely be the only ones who notice it.
How long do Kybella® injections produce results?
You won't need any more Kybella® injections once you've completed your set of treatments (3-6 sessions spaced around 6 weeks apart) and achieved your desired result. While Kybella® does not eliminate all fat cells, it does significantly diminish and eliminate the fat cells you are targeting, and these cells will not return. Because it destroys fat cells, the effects might linger for a long time. The complete effects of this treatment are seen after many months of treatment, with the exact duration varying based on the patient's individual circumstances and the amount of sessions received. Because the gradual alteration obscures the fact that you've had the procedure done, the removal of the double chin appears natural.
How uncomfortable are Kybella® injections?
Kybella® is a simple surgery that causes very little pain or discomfort. Our Kybella® treatments at OC Beauty Med Spa are often quite relaxing for our clients. Our experts take further precautions by using local anesthetics and numbing creams to alleviate any discomfort. Prior to injection, ice might be used to numb the region. Some people report a burning, unpleasant feeling following the injections that goes away within minutes. During this time, we ask that you stay in the office with ice packs to assist alleviate your discomfort. Patients report that the first 15 minutes of therapy are a bit unpleasant, but that the rest of the treatment is well tolerated. We are here to ensure you that during your treatment at OC Beauty Med Spa, we will make you as comfortable as possible.
We recommend that first-time patients set aside an hour in our clinic to ask questions, learn more about the Kybella® therapy, and numb the treatment region with ice before beginning. The injectable phase of the procedure is quick and painless, taking less than ten minutes.
What is the minimum number of Kybella® treatments required to see results?
The number of treatments required is determined by numerous factors unique to each person. Treatments should be spaced six weeks apart. You may require as few as three or as many as six treatments, depending on the volume of your double chin. For your unique consultation, we recommend visiting with one of our fully educated staff members in person.
Who is a good candidate for receiving Kybella® treatment?
If you're an adult who is in generally excellent health but is troubled by the sight of fat beneath your chin, especially if it doesn't respond to adjustments in your diet or exercise habits, you may be a suitable candidate for KYBELLA®. Furthermore, you should have attainable goals and fair expectations.
What should I do if I gain weight after getting Kybella®?
The fat cells beneath your chin are targeted with Kybella®. We understand that Kybella® does not eliminate every fat cell, but it does significantly diminish and eliminate the fat cells that you were hoping to eliminate for your desired outcomes. Weight gain can alter the fat cells that remain beneath your chin after you get your desired results, but since you dramatically reduced the amount of fat cells in the area, you should observe very little change if you gain weight.
