What Is It?

WHAT IS KYBELLA?

Kybella is a prescription medication that is injected in the chin area targeting and eliminating the submental fat that causes the ‘double chin’ effect. It is a formulated with synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is produced in our bodies and it functions to assist our bodies in breaking down and absorbing fat. Our Des Moines Kybella Injectors will inject it into the fat underneath the chin to destroy the fatty cells, once destroyed they can’t be regenerated. The eventual emergence of the dreaded ‘double chin’ can happen to both men and women and it is not necessarily tied to weight gain, the aging process and genetics are also factors. This causes many of us to feel very self-conscious about ourselves. Kybella treatments are proven to be very effective in obliterating the fat in the chin area and it’s a non-surgical procedure.

Kybella Facts

At Skin Body Soul Des Moines Kybella is delivered via an injection directly into the fatty tissue beneath your chin. The cells are destroyed and can longer store or accumulate fat. This treatment produces permanent results and once you have achieved your desired results further treatments are often not required.

When you arrive for your Kybella Des Moines nurses may numb your skin to reduce discomfort during the treatment. You may receive a numbing injection, a numbing cream or a cold spray on your skin. Next, a nurse will use a tiny needle to inject small amounts of Kybella in multiple areas directly into the fat beneath the chin. The number of injections will depend upon the amount of fat and your personal goals.

Your nurse may also ask you to refrain from taking blood thinners before your treatment. You may wear your normal clothing to your treatment.

A treatment typically takes 15 – 20 minutes.

Some people experience mild discomfort during the treatment session. However, you may request that your skin be numbed to reduce discomfort.

Many people return to work and resume regular activities immediately following the treatment.

After treatment, you may experience redness, mild pain and slight swelling. These initial side effects should resolve very quickly.

The results of the treatment will vary from person to person; however, there is typically a noticeable difference within 2 – 4 treatments. The results of Kybella treatments are permanent. However, the number of treatments that will be required to achieve the desired effects will vary from person to person. One month must pass between scheduled treatments. Up to 6 treatments may be performed and many notice the changes between treatments 2 and 4.

Yes, the numbers of additional treatment sessions are dependent upon the amount of fat beneath your chin and the effect that you want to achieve.

“My lashes have gotten thinner and more sparse.”

“My lashes have gotten thinner and more sparse. That’s why I asked my optometrist about LATISSE®, hoping that it would help my lashes grow.Now that my lashes are longer and darker, I’m doing more to draw attention to my eyes; I cut my hair shorter and I’m even wearing my contacts more just to show them off.” - CINDY

“my lashes are noticeably darker than my previous shade, which is fantastic!”

“Being a blonde, I’ve always had light brown lashes with some blonde ones mixed in, which, as you can imagine, just disappeared on my face. They didn’t even show up in photographs! But since I have been using LATISSE®, my lashes are noticeably darker than my previous shade, which is fantastic! Without a doubt, I have become a believer in LATISSE®!” - JENNY

“It’s incredible how much my skin has changed.”
