KYBELLA® in Southlake, TX

If your double chin bothers you and you find yourself embarrassed by the appearance of your lower face, but the idea of surgery worries you, Kybella can offer a nonsurgical solution. An injection formulated from deoxycholic acid that is found in the body naturally, Kybella is a safe, slimming treatment that our staff at Refine MedSpa in Southlake, TX uses for chin reduction. The injection works to interrupt and break down the fat cells lingering beneath the skin under your chin, which cannot rebuild after treatment. Although more than 1 treatment is typically needed to attain the right results, Kybella works towards a long-lasting, slender profile that you can be proud of.

The skilled staff at Refine MedSpa can help you decide if Kybella is the right option to help rid you of fat beneath your chin. If you have a double chin, a chin that has isolated pockets of fat, or if you desire a stronger profile, but you do not want to undergo a surgical procedure, Kybella may be right for you. Those that struggle with fat beneath the chin, either moderate or extreme, often find that Kybella is an effective nonsurgical solution that creates a slimmer appearance. It is also important to note that Kybella does not treat loose and hanging skin under the neck. A surgical procedure would be necessary to correct any loose skin deformity.

Kybella is performed inside our medspa office, which generally takes place during the initial visit after your consultation. The injection sites will be cleaned and prepped and properly marked so that the injector can target the correct areas of concern. If you are nervous about any pain from the injection, a numbing agent can be applied to the site. During the 15 – 20 minute treatment, Kybella will be administered with a needle in a few small injections beneath the chin. 2 – 6 treatments are usually required, each one spread about a month apart.

Most patients will begin to see a thinner profile and a noticeable reduction of their double chin after 2 or 3 treatments, though many will even see results after the first. There may be mild side effects from each injection, such as swelling, bruising, numbness, redness, areas of hardness, and pain in the injection site, but these effects should recede within 2 – 3 days. The process will be completed after 2 – 6 treatments, after which the fat cells cannot regenerate. Patients are left with a slimmer neck and a more defined profile.

Getting rid of a pesky double chin is a struggle that we understand at Refine MedSpa. Diet, exercise, and invasive procedures don’t always help, but Kybella provides a solution that requires no surgery and little to no downtime.
