Has your jawline lost its definition over the years? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Many people experience a fuller, less defined jawline – also known as a double chin – in adulthood. 

In the past, there were limited treatment options to restore jawline definition, and many patients were confined to cosmetic surgery. Now, with Kybella, we can contour the neck and chin with a safe, simple injectable. 

Read on to learn more about how Kybella can give you a more defined jawline without the need for incisions, anesthesia, or downtime.  Continue reading “Can Kybella Give Me a More Defined Jawline?” →

Loose, sagging skin and a double chin are among the most common cosmetic concerns that people have as they age. You may think that plastic surgery is the only way to resolve these concerns. But, thanks to innovative, non-surgical solutions like Kybella and PDO threads, surgery is no longer needed to achieve a rejuvenated look. 

What is Kybella?

Kybella is an FDA-approved, injectable treatment for submental fullness (or, as it’s more commonly called, a double chin). This injection features deoxycholic acid as the main ingredient, which permanently breaks down and removes excess fat in the chin and neck area. It also keeps cells from storing and accumulating fat in the future.  Continue reading “Look Younger with Kybella and PDO Threads” →

Kybella is a popular injectable treatment for submental fullness, which is more commonly referred to as a double chin. Since the fat cells in this area are often unresponsive to diet and exercise, Kybella can make a big difference for women seeking a more elegant neckline. 

While Kybella is currently only approved by the FDA to target fat cells beneath the skin, it may be effective in other areas of the body. Here, we’ll discuss how Kybella can treat stubborn fat and help patients achieve a slimmer look. 

How Does Kybella Work?

The main ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is naturally occurring in the body and functions by breaking down and absorbing fat. When deoxycholic acid is injected directly into areas of excess fat in Kybella treatment, it eliminates the existing fat cells while preventing the future storage and accumulation of fat. So, it works as a permanent solution to submental fat. Patients usually receive two to six Kybella treatments within six months for the best results.  Continue reading “What Areas Can Be Treated with Kybella?” →

Are you struggling with saggy jowls? Jowls typically appear as a result of lost skin elasticity due to age. The skin naturally produces less collagen and elastin with age, leading to sagging and lost definition. That said, factors including genetics, sun exposure, weight changes, and making certain facial expressions can also contribute to the development of jowls and submental fullness or excess fat under the chin. 

When it comes to eliminating saggy jowls, there are multiple treatment options available to you. That said, Kybella is the gold standard for non-surgical jowl treatments. With this advanced dermal filler, we can tighten and smooth out the skin on the jaw and neck, leading to a slimmer, more defined jawline.

When Kybella was launched in the United States for fat destruction in the submental fat of the chin, the hype around it was immense. KYBELLA ® (deoxycholic acid) injection is indicated for improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe convexity or fullness associated with submental fat in adults. While there are no approved uses of Kybella in other areas, there are plenty of off-label uses that are gaining some attention from injectors and their patients.

We know that Kybella destroys fat safely by killing the fat cells and allowing the body to absorb them, and the fat goes away forever. It is a non-surgical, minimally-invasive way to get rid of fat so why not try it in other body areas.
