Refine Your Jawline Without Surgery

Stubborn submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin, can be difficult to eliminate with diet and exercise alone. Kybella offers a clinically proven way to target and dissolve fat beneath the chin with a series of quick, in-office injections. At Ageless Remedies, we tailor your Kybella treatment plan in Charlotte to your goals, helping you achieve a more sculpted and balanced facial profile with lasting results and no surgical intervention.

Treat That Double-Chin With Kybella

Submental fullness can be something you’ve had your whole life due to genetics, when you gain weight, or it can start to appear as you get older. Kybella is a prescription medicine and is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin.

When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells, reducing the fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.

What is Kybella?

The key active ingredient in Kybella is synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. Kybella disrupts the cell membrane of fat cells beneath the chin, causing them to rupture and release their contents.

The body then naturally metabolizes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells over time, leading to a gradual reduction in the appearance of a double chin. The treatment typically involves a series of injections, each spaced four to six weeks apart.

Kybella is considered a safe and effective non-surgical alternative to more invasive procedures like liposuction for addressing excess fat under the chin.

Benefits of Kybella

Kybella offers several advantages, which contribute to its popularity as a solution for reducing submental fat and improving facial profile.

Non-Surgical Approach

Kybella is a non-surgical treatment, eliminating the need for a lengthy recovery period or any side effects of true surgery. This makes it convenient for those seeking facial rejuvenation without disrupting their daily schedule.

Precision and Targeted Fat Reduction

The injections are strategically administered to the specific areas of concern in the chin, allowing for precise targeting of submental fat. This localized approach helps avoid affecting surrounding tissues, resulting in a more defined and improved facial profile.

Natural Ingredient

Kybella's active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a naturally occurring substance in the body.

Gradual, Natural-Looking Results

The fat reduction with Kybella occurs gradually over time as the body naturally processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells. This gradual transformation contributes to a more natural-looking outcome, avoiding a sudden and drastic change in appearance.

Customizable Treatment Plan

Kybella treatments can be tailored to each individual's unique needs and goals. The number of sessions required can vary, allowing for a customized treatment plan that addresses specific concerns and ensures optimal results.

Overall, Kybella provides a non-surgical, precise, and gradual approach to reducing submental fat, contributing to an improved facial profile and increased confidence for those seeking a more contoured and youthful appearance.

Kybella Treatment Process

The Kybella treatment process typically begins with a thorough consultation between you and Ageless Remedies physician, Dr. Greenberg. During this initial session, we’ll assess your medical history, examine the submental fat in the chin area, and discuss individual goals and expectations. This dialogue is crucial to determine whether Kybella is a suitable option for you and to tailor a personalized treatment plan.

Treatment Area Preparation

The area beneath the chin is cleansed and marked to guide precise injection placement.

Series of Injections

Kybella is injected directly into targeted areas beneath the chin. The number of injections depends on the amount of fat and your desired outcome.

Session Schedule

You may require up to 6 sessions, spaced at least four to six weeks apart, for optimal results.

Quick In-Office Procedure

Each treatment takes about 15 to 20 minutes, making it easy to fit into your day.

Minimal Downtime

Most patients experience mild swelling or tenderness and can return to normal activities shortly after treatment.

What to Expect

While some clients may experience mild discomfort during the injections, the procedure is generally well-tolerated. Recovery is typically minimal after the injections, and clients can usually resume their regular activities, though some may experience temporary swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites.

Over the following weeks, the body gradually processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells, leading to a gradual improvement in the appearance of the chin area.

Subtle, Effective Results

Clients should also understand that Kybella's full results are not immediate. The process involves the gradual breakdown and elimination of fat cells by the body’s natural metabolic processes. Therefore, noticeable improvements in the reduction of submental fat may take several weeks to months. Patience is key, as the final outcome becomes more apparent over time.

After Your Treatment

It’s important for clients to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by their healthcare professional. This may include avoiding strenuous physical activity immediately after the procedure and adhering to any specific guidelines for minimizing swelling or bruising. Additionally, clients should attend any scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor progress and determine whether additional sessions are necessary to achieve their desired results.

Additional Med Spa Services to Consider

Combining Kybella with other cosmetic treatments can offer a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation and aesthetic enhancement.

Thermage FLX

Pairing Kybella with Thermage FLX skin tightening can be a synergistic approach to tackle both fat reduction and skin laxity.
