Allergan KYBELLA – Do you have extra fullness beneath your chin that’s visibly bothersome to you? Maybe you have had it your whole life, or maybe it developed as you got older and you have only noticed it recently. This fullness is an actual condition in men and women known as submental fullness, more commonly called a “double chin.” It can be due to genetics, aging, or weight gain and can be difficult to eliminate.
Allergan Aesthetics is a company that develops, manufactures, and markets various aesthetics brands and products. One of the many popular products they offer is a body contouring injectable called KYBELLA® that is used to treat submental fullness in adults.
KYBELLA® is a prescription medicine used in adults over age 18 to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also known as a “double chin.” Approved by the FDA, KYBELLA® is a non-surgical treatment used by many adults to address bothersome fullness under the chin area; the treatment destroys the fat cells under the chin via injections that include the active ingredient of synthetic deoxycholic acid. (Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the human body that is known to help break down and absorb dietary fat.)
KYBELLA® is administered as a series; you are given multiple small injections in the area under your chin. The medicine begins destroying fat cells to produce gradual results over time. Everyone is different, so your physician will tailor treatment to you based on your chin profile and your treatment goals. The number of treatment sessions will vary based on the amount of fat under the chin and the look you are trying to achieve. Usually, doctors prescribe between two and six treatments, to be administered one month apart from each other. Treatment sessions usually take 20 minutes or less.
Many people seek medical interventions to improve their profiles. If you are one of them, KYBELLA® might be just the treatment you are seeking.
