Kybella in The Woodlands, TX
Kybella
Kybella is a non-invasive treatment designed to reduce extra fat underneath the chin, commonly referred to as a double chin. This FDA-approved injectable uses a synthesized form of deoxycholic acid, which assists with breaking down and absorbing fat. When injected into the targeted area, Kybella eliminates fat cells, resulting in a visible decrease of fat beneath the chin. The treatment is minimally invasive, and since Kybella targets fat, it can also be used in small areas of localized fat accumulation beyond the chin. However, its primary use is submental fat reduction.
Kybella in The Woodlands, TX, is ideal for individuals who are looking to improve their chin profile without surgery. The treatment is ideal for adults with moderate to severe facial fat who want a slimmer, more defined jawline. Results generally start to appear after two to four treatments, with full results visible after multiple sessions scheduled a month apart. Once fat cells are targeted, they are eliminated permanently from the body, making the results long-lasting.

FAQ
How many Kybella treatments are needed?
The number of Kybella treatments you need will depend on the amount of fat you have and your desired outcome. Most people require two to four treatments, scheduled a month apart, to achieve optimal results.
Is Kybella treatment painful?
Kybella involves a series of small injections, and while some discomfort can occur, a topical numbing cream is often applied to minimize any pain. Patients may experience swelling, bruising, or redness afterward, but these side effects are temporary.
Can Kybella be used for other areas of the body?
Kybella is FDA-approved for treating submental fat (beneath the chin). Although it has shown promise in treating small fat pockets in other areas, it is primarily recommended for treating double chin.
Are there any side effects of Kybella?
Common side effects of Kybella may include swelling, bruising, redness, and numbness in the treated area. These typically subside within a few days. More serious side effects like nerve injury are rare but possible when not administered by a professional.
How long do Kybella's results last?
Once Kybella destroys fat cells, they do not return. The results are long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight. No follow-up treatments are usually required after achieving your desired outcome.
Who is not a candidate for Kybella?
Kybella is not recommended for individuals with an infection in the treatment area or those with loose skin instead of fat under the chin. Consult first with a qualified provider to determine if Kybella is the right option for you.
