What Is Kybella and Where Can I Get It?

1. What Is Kybella and Where Can I Get It? When you are making a lot of effort to look and feel your best, it can be incredibly frustrating to run up against trouble zones. For instance, many adults struggle with loose skin after weight loss, stretch marks, cellulite and difficult pockets of fat that won’t budge no matter how much you exercise, diet and use the very best products. The area under the chin is one such area, and many people just cannot stand the excess fat and skin that creates a “double chin”. The technical term is submental fullness, and it is actually something outside of your control. Some people are born with smaller jaw areas and a genetic tendency to a double chin and others gain one over time as their skin loses elasticity and as they may put on some additional weight. The problem with submental fullness is that it does more than create a double chin. According to surveys, more than 65% of people asked said that fat beneath their chin really bothers them - as much as lines and wrinkles on the face and eyes! It is, though, a condition that is not easily remedied with diet or exercise. That skin can be tough to tighten or return to a firmer condition.

2. Fortunately, patients at Juvia MedSpa can find out if they are a good candidate for an innovative new treatment known as Kybella. For those in the Colleyville, Keller, Southlake, North Richland Hills, Fort Worth, and Grapevine areas, there is a proven remedy for double chins. Kybella Explained Kybella is a prescription treatment that is used for those with moderate to severe accumulations of fat beneath the chin. It is an injection medication and is made of deoxycholic acid. This primary ingredient is actually a molecule that is a naturally occurring one in the body. Its purpose is to help the body breakdown and then absorb fat. When it is injected into the area beneath the chin by a knowledgeable practitioner, it is going to begin to eliminate and destroy fat cells. What is important to note about this process is that once a fat cell is destroyed by deoxycholic acid, it is unable to ever again store or hold on to fat. This means that the pockets of fat that create fullness beneath the chin can be rendered non-functional through the treatment. Those who quality for the injections experience a more sharply revealed chin and a noticeable reduction in the overall fullness of the area. Getting Treatment If your Juvia MedSpa expert indicates that you are a candidate, they work with you to create a customized treatment plan. No two patients are alike, though all will receive multiple injections throughout their treatment program. Typically, most will see the full results within six sessions (around 60% of patients need six treatments). Each visit is spaced one month after the other. Most will see improvements in chin profile and fat reduction within two to four visits. The good news is that anyone who has successful Kybella treatment should never require it again. The fat cells are totally destroyed by the process and will be unable to begin accumulating fat again. Once you and your provider agree that your goals have been reached, you will not require any further treatments or injections! If you are embarrassed or uncomfortable about a double chin, there are remedies available. To learn more or book a consultation, get in touch with Juvia MedSpa at 817- 427-3700.
