A well-defined jawline is often associated with youth and vitality. However, factors like genetics, aging, and weight fluctuations can lead to the development of submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin. At Scottsdale Skin Boutique & Dermatology, we offer Kybella injections—a non-surgical solution designed to eliminate unwanted fat beneath the chin, helping you achieve a more sculpted and contoured jawline.
Understanding Kybella
Kybella, an FDA-approved injectable treatment, uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that breaks down and absorbs dietary fat. When our specialists strategically inject Kybella into the submental area, it effectively destroys fat cells, reducing fullness under the chin. After eliminating these fat cells, your body prevents them from storing or accumulating fat, creating a more defined jawline.
The Kybella Treatment Process
At Scottsdale Skin Boutique & Dermatology, our expert providers ensure a comfortable and personalized Kybella treatment experience:
- Consultation: We begin with a thorough assessment of your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals to determine if Kybella is suitable for you.
- Preparation: A topical numbing agent may be applied to the targeted areas to enhance comfort during the procedure.
- Mapping: Precise injection sites are marked using a template to ensure optimal results.
- Injection: Small amounts of Kybella are carefully and strategically injected in a grid-like pattern under the chin.
The entire procedure typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes, and most patients require multiple sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, to achieve their desired outcome.
Benefits of Kybella Injections
Kybella offers several advantages for individuals seeking to improve their jawline contour:
- Non-Surgical: Kybella provides a minimally invasive alternative to surgical procedures like liposuction, with no incisions or anesthesia required.
- Permanent Results: Once the targeted fat cells are destroyed, they do not regenerate, offering long-lasting results with proper weight management.
- Minimal Downtime: Most patients experience minimal downtime, allowing them to resume daily activities shortly after treatment.
- Customized Treatment: The number of injections and treatment sessions are tailored to each individual’s specific needs and aesthetic goals.
What to Expect After Kybella Treatment
After Kybella injections, some patients may notice mild side effects such as swelling, bruising, redness, or numbness in the treated area. These effects usually last only a few days before subsiding. Most patients start to see visible improvements after two to four treatment sessions, achieving optimal results after six sessions. Our team recommends following specific post-treatment care instructions to ensure the best outcome.
Is Kybella Right for You
Kybella is ideal for adults with moderate to severe submental fullness who prefer a non-surgical approach to fat reduction. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with loose skin or significant platysmal banding (neck muscle prominence). A comprehensive consultation with our experienced providers at Scottsdale Skin Boutique & Dermatology will help determine if Kybella is the appropriate treatment to achieve your desired jawline contour.
