Kybella is a prescription medicine used to reduce unwanted fat beneath the chin, also called “double chin.” It is created from a naturally occurring molecule in the body, and works by breaking down the fat cells in the treated area to reduce the appearance of fullness. It is administered via injections, and the number of treatments needed will depend on the individual. The procedure typically takes around 15 minutes to administer and there is no downtime or recovery following the treatment. While it may take several treatments before results are seen, Kybella should give permanent results.
Most people require two-to-four Kybella treatments for optimal results. Each session is generally spaced four-to-six weeks apart.
However, the exact number of treatments someone needs may be determined by the amount of fat and their desired results.
After a Kybella treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, and numbness in the area that was injected. The redness and swelling should subside within two to three days. Many people report feeling soreness in the area for a few days after the treatment. Rare, severe side effects of Kybella can include trouble swallowing and uneven appearance of the treated area.
