Fat Dissolver (Kybella)

Kybella is an innovative and FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to target and permanently destroy fat cells under the chin. It offers a non-surgical solution to reduce submental fullness, commonly known as a “double chin,” helping to define the jawline and refine your facial profile.

How Do They Work?

Kybella’s active ingredient is synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella literally destroys the fat cells. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. The body’s natural metabolic processes then safely clear away the treated fat cells over time. This results in a gradual yet noticeable reduction in submental fullness and a more contoured jawline.

Kybella is ideal for adults who:

  • Are bothered by excess fat under the chin (submental fullness).

  • Prefer a non-surgical solution to improve their jawline contour.

  • Have realistic expectations about the results.

  • Are in good general health.

It’s important to note that Kybella is specifically for fat reduction and is not a solution for loose skin. Your practitioner at NÜD Studio Medical Spa will assess if Kybella is the right treatment for your specific concerns.

Benefits of Kybella

Choosing Kybella at NÜD Studio Medical Spa offers several compelling benefits:

  • Permanent Fat Reduction: Once fat cells are destroyed, they are gone for good, leading to lasting results.

  • Non-Surgical Solution: Achieve a more defined jawline without incisions, stitches, or significant downtime associated with surgery.

  • Improved Jawline Contour: Effectively reduces the appearance of a double chin, leading to a more sculpted and aesthetically pleasing profile.

  • Boosted Confidence: Feel more confident and satisfied with your appearance

Before Your Appointment:

  • Avoid Blood-Thinning Medications & Supplements: If medically permissible, it’s generally recommended to avoid medications like aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), and certain supplements (e.g., Vitamin E, fish oil, ginkgo biloba, St. John’s Wort) for at least 7-10 days prior to your appointment. These can increase the risk of bruising and swelling. Always consult your prescribing physician before discontinuing any medication.

  • Minimize Alcohol Consumption: Avoid alcoholic beverages for at least 24-48 hours before your treatment, as alcohol can also thin the blood and increase bruising.

  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment.

  • Inform Your Practitioner: Be sure to inform your practitioner about any medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are currently taking (including over-the-counter drugs and supplements). Also, disclose any history of swallowing difficulties, bleeding disorders, or prior surgeries in the neck or chin area.

  • Reschedule if Unwell: If you have an active skin infection, rash, or are feeling unwell on the day of your appointment, please contact NÜD Studio Medical Spa to reschedule.

  • Arrive with Clean Skin: Come to your appointment with a clean face and neck, free of makeup, lotions, or creams.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kybella

How many Kybella sessions will I need?

The number of Kybella sessions varies by individual, depending on the amount of fat under the chin and your desired results. Most patients require between 2 to 4 treatment sessions, though some may need up to 6. Sessions are typically spaced at least one month apart.

Is Kybella painful?

Discomfort during Kybella injections is usually minimal. A topical numbing cream may be applied, and Kybella often contains lidocaine (a local anesthetic) to enhance comfort during the procedure. You may feel a brief stinging or burning sensation during the injection.

What is the downtime after a Kybella treatment?

Downtime is typically minimal, but you can expect swelling, bruising, and numbness under the chin after treatment. Swelling is most noticeable in the first few days and can last for a week or more. Icing the area and wearing a compression bandage (if recommended) can help.

Are the results from Kybella permanent?

Yes, the results from Kybella are considered permanent. Once the fat cells under the chin are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat. While the treated fat cells are permanently eliminated, significant weight gain in the future could potentially lead to the accumulation of fat in other areas.
