Kybella
Facial aging involves more than just lines; it’s often characterized by a loss of volume and a change in the underlying structure of the skin. This loss of subcutaneous fat and collagen leads to sagging, hollowing, and the formation of deep folds. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that offer immediate plumping, Sculptra takes a unique approach. It is a powerful biostimulator that works subtly and gradually, encouraging your body to naturally produce its own collagen. This process restores lost volume and improves the texture and elasticity of your skin over time, delivering results that are natural-looking, long-lasting, and fundamentally rejuvenating.
What is Kybella?
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to reduce moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fullness). Unlike other injectables, such as the collagen stimulator Sculptra, the 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. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys the fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store fat, making the results permanent.
How does Kybella work?
Kybella works by using its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, to physically destroy fat cells in the submental area (under the chin). The injectable solution disrupts the cell membranes of the fat cells, causing them to rupture. Once these cells are destroyed, the body processes and eliminates them over time. Since the eliminated fat cells cannot regenerate or re-store fat, the results from Kybella are permanent, providing a lasting improvement to your profile.
Who is a good candidate?
An excellent candidate for Kybella is an adult who is bothered by submental fullness, or a "double chin," but who is not interested in undergoing surgical procedures like liposuction. Good candidates are in overall good health, have moderate to severe fat under the chin, and have relatively good skin elasticity. It is important that candidates for Kybella treatments have realistic expectations regarding the non-surgical nature of the process and understand that a series of treatments is usually necessary to achieve the best results.
Kybella offers a game-changing method for achieving a slender and more youthful neck profile, dramatically improving the definition of your jawline with a permanent, non-surgical solution.
