Double Chin Elimination: The Step-by-Step Kybella Treatment Process at A Better You Wellness Center
When it comes to achieving a sleek and contoured jawline, Kybella has become a popular solution for reducing submental fullness (commonly known as a “double chin”) without surgery. At A Better You Wellness Center, we guide our clients through each step of the Kybella treatment process to help them understand what to expect and to support them on their journey to feeling their best. Here’s an in-depth look at what the process entails!
What is Kybella?
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that targets and permanently destroys fat cells under the chin. It contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. Once injected, Kybella works to break down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time. This can lead to a more defined and sculpted jawline after a series of treatments, with results tailored to each client’s goals.
Step 1: Consultation and Personalized Treatment Plan
The Kybella journey begins with a thorough consultation. During this visit, our provider Rebecca Poole will evaluate your chin profile and discuss your aesthetic goals. This is a great time to ask any questions about the treatment, such as how many sessions you might need, possible side effects, and what kind of results you can expect. Every face is unique, and we tailor the number of injections and treatment sessions to fit your individual needs. Most people require multiple sessions spaced at least a month apart to see optimal results.
Step 2: Preparing for Treatment
In the days leading up to your Kybella session, we recommend avoiding blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin or fish oil, to minimize bruising. Arriving with a clean, makeup-free face is also essential to ensure a smooth process. Wear comfortable clothing to help you feel relaxed throughout the appointment.
Step 3: The Treatment Session
On the day of your treatment, our team will start by numbing the treatment area to ensure you are as comfortable as possible. Once you’re ready, we carefully mark the injection points to achieve the desired contour. Kybella is then strategically injected into the target area. The number of injections depends on the treatment plan developed during your consultation. Some clients feel a mild tingling or burning sensation, but this usually subsides quickly.
Step 4: Post-Treatment Care
After the session, mild swelling, bruising, or redness in the treated area is common. These side effects are temporary and can be managed with cold compresses and over-the-counter pain relievers. Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, so you know exactly how to care for the area and minimize discomfort.
Step 5: Seeing Results
While some clients notice improvements within a few weeks, most will see the best results a few months after their last Kybella session. The fat cells targeted by Kybella are permanently destroyed, meaning the results can be long-lasting as long as a healthy lifestyle is maintained. You’ll gradually see your profile becoming more defined with each session, and many clients find the results transformative for their self-confidence.
