Goodbye, Double Chin!

What is Kybella?

Kybella is a revolutionary fat-dissolving injectable composed of a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid. This naturally occurring molecule in the body breaks down and absorbs dietary fat. When injected under the chin and along the jawline and jowls. Kybella targets and dissolves fat cells, creating a slimmer, more contoured appearance. Because our bodies don’t produce new fat cells in treated areas, the results are permanent with a healthy lifestyle and stable weight. At Iconique Medical Aesthetics, we customize every Kybella treatment to enhance your natural features while helping you achieve a more defined jawline.

Effortless Elegance

What is the Kybella procedure like?

Your injector will learn about your goals and assess the treatment area to recommend the appropriate number of injections. Before the injection procedure, they will apply a topical numbing agent to enhance comfort. Then, a series of small Kybella injections will be administered directly into the targeted fat. You may experience a mild burning or stinging sensation during the injections, but this is usually brief. Each Kybella injection session typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes.

What conditions does Kybella address?

Kybella specifically targets submental fat, which is the stubborn pocket of fat that creates a double chin. The fat in this area is often resistant to efforts like diet and exercise, making it a common concern. Kybella breaks down these fat cells, reducing fullness under the chin and enhancing your entire profile. It’s a great solution for those who feel self-conscious about their double chin and want to achieve a more defined jawline without surgery.

Sculpted Contours Without Surgery

What are the benefits of Kybella?

Kybella offers several key benefits:

• Permanent Results: The targeted fat cells do not regenerate, providing long-lasting results.
• Non-Surgical: Achieve a more defined jawline without the risks or downtime associated with surgery.
• Minimal Downtime: Return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.
• Gradual Improvement: Enjoy a natural-looking reduction in fat as the body gradually flushes away the destroyed cells over several weeks.

To reduce swelling, your provider will recommend applying a cold compress and keeping your head elevated for the first few days. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and heat exposure for 24-48 hours post-treatment. Your Iconique injector will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure you achieve the best possible results from your Kybella treatment.
