kybella
what is the service?
Kybella is a non-surgical, FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a "double chin." It contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that breaks down fat cells. Once injected, Kybella targets and destroys fat cells beneath the chin, resulting in a more defined jawline and slimmer profile.
This treatment offers a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures like liposuction, with minimal downtime and long-lasting results. Kybella is particularly effective for individuals who struggle with fat accumulation in the submental area, despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
how do we deliver?
During a Kybella treatment at Pōk Aesthetic Bar, a trained medical professional will first assess the submental area to determine the appropriate dosage. The treatment area is cleaned, and a grid pattern is marked to ensure precise placement of the injections. Using a fine needle, multiple small injections of Kybella are administered directly into the fat beneath the chin.
The entire process takes about 15-20 minutes, and most patients require 2-4 sessions spaced about a month apart to achieve optimal results. The treatment is minimally invasive, and any discomfort is usually manageable with the help of ice or numbing agents.
What clients can expect from this service?
After a Kybella treatment, clients may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness in the treated area, which typically subsides within a few days. Over the course of several weeks, the body naturally metabolizes the destroyed fat cells, gradually revealing a more sculpted jawline. Results are long-lasting, as the fat cells that are destroyed do not return.
However, it may take 2-3 months and multiple treatment sessions to see the final outcome. The most significant advantage of Kybella is that once the desired results are achieved, no further treatments are necessary, as the fat does not regenerate.
the main benefits of these services
Kybella offers several key benefits for individuals seeking a non-surgical solution to excess fat beneath the chin. These include:
- A more defined jawline
- Improved facial symmetry
- Noticeable reduction in the appearance of a double chin.
- The procedure is minimally invasive, requires no anesthesia, and involves little to no downtime
- Safe, FDA-approved treatment with permanent results once the fat cells are destroyed, eliminating the need for future treatments.
- Ideal option for those looking to avoid the risks and recovery associated with surgical fat removal.
Who would benefit most from the service?
Kybella is an excellent option for individuals who:
- Have stubborn submental fat that is resistant to diet and exercise.
- Those who are unhappy with the appearance of their jawline or chin due to excess fat.
- Those who are seeking a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures like liposuction.
However, Kybella is not a weight loss treatment, and individuals with loose or sagging skin may require additional treatments to address skin laxity such as Morpheus 8. A consultation with a specialist at Pōk Aesthetic Bar will determine whether Kybella is the right option for each individual.
What are the risks of this service?
While Kybella is generally safe, as with any medical treatment, there are potential risks. Common side effects include swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at the injection site. Some clients may also experience numbness, hardness, or areas of firmness under the skin, which usually resolves over time. In rare cases, Kybella can cause nerve injury in the jaw, leading to an uneven smile or difficulty swallowing. However, these complications are uncommon and typically temporary. It is important to choose a qualified and experienced practitioner, such as those at Pōk Aesthetic Bar, to minimize these risks and ensure a safe, effective treatment.
