Get In TouchA double chin can be a trigger for poor self-image and insecurity. No matter your age, body shape, or natural beauty, having a double chin can make you look older, overweight, or less attractive than you might otherwise appear. KYBELLA® is the newest, most effective treatment for a double chin and is FDA approved to eliminate a double chin with minimal discomfort, no surgery, and no recovery.
Achieved With KYBELLA®
A double chin, or submental fullness, can limit positive self-image. Even small or moderate amounts of excess fat beneath the chin may elicit feelings of insecurity. While diet and exercise cannot directly target this area, KYBELLA® is designed to do exactly that. KYBELLA® can be injected into the area beneath the chin to break down the fat cells and create a slimmer neck contour.
Stubborn fat accumulation is known for resisting diet, exercise, and many other methods of fat removal. KYBELLA® is a prescription drug containing deoxycholic acid, a molecule that naturally breaks down fat cells so that the body can eliminate them. Once it has been injected beneath the chin, the deoxycholic acid formula continues to destroy the fat indefinitely, leading to permanent results. It also serves as a permanent guard against future fat buildup.
Poor self-image is often associated with poor self-confidence. Improving your self-image is made possible with KYBELLA®, which eliminates submental fullness and restores a slender neckline so that you look more attractive, youthful, and slim. Greater confidence is a natural byproduct of improved self-image after treatment with KYBELLA®.
Addressing Your Concerns
Cost
The cost of KYBELLA® depends mostly on how many treatments will be necessary. Most patients will need between two and four treatments to achieve their desired results. KYBELLA® is an elective treatment, which means that insurance companies do not cover the expense. During your initial consultation, Dr. Chin’s Aspire MediSpa staff will determine if you are a suitable candidate and offer you a price quote for your KYBELLA® treatment if indicated.
Scars
Since no surgical incisions are used in KYBELLA® treatments, there is no scarring.
Pain
Even though KYBELLA® treatments are nonsurgical, some pain or discomfort may occur as a side effect. Any discomfort will be temporary and can be alleviated with pain medications in the meantime.
Recovery
KYBELLA® treatments are nonsurgical and have no recovery period. Some patients may experience minor side effects, including swelling, bruising, discomfort, numbness, redness, or hardness in the treated area. These side effects are temporary and should not prevent you from returning to normal activities directly after your treatment.
