Kybella

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable that requires no anesthesia, incisions, or downtime. Once injected, the treatment can help reduce small bulges of fat that obscure the profile and inhibit self-confidence. Treat Yourself Aesthetic Studio is excited to offer this cutting-edge solution for double chin reduction in Rockford, IL.  

Whether your double chin developed as a result of the aging process or it is a physical trait passed down genetically, the condition can be distressing as it does not typically respond to dieting and exercise. Until now, there were few minimally invasive options for slimming the upper neck, but Kybella has quickly changed the outlook for those struggling with stubborn submental fat. At Treat Yourself Aesthetic Studio, we recommend that if you are in the process of losing weight, you wait until you have reached your goal weight to have this treatment. 

Kybella works gradually over time, with patients typically undergoing 3-6 treatments spaced out at 30-day intervals. After this series of sessions, it is rare for clients to require additional Kybella injections. 

Kybella is made with deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring compound that metabolizes body fat. Over time, Kybella patients in the Rockford area can enjoy double chin reduction, a boost in confidence, and a smoother, tighter jawline. 

Who is a good candidate? 

Patients who have acquired a double chin during the aging process, as well as younger clients who came by submental fullness as a hereditary trait, will be delighted to discover the remarkable benefits of Kybella injections. Treat Yourself Aesthetic Studio simply asks that patients be emotionally and physically healthy and that they have realistic expectations for their results based on a detailed consultation at our office. 

Note that Kybella can help trim stubborn fat bulges in the upper neck, but it is not a solution for loose, sagging skin. Clients with bleeding disorders or problems swallowing may require a different approach.

What can I expect after Kybella?

There is no downtime to speak of after Kybella injections. Mild swelling — as well as bruising, tenderness, and temporary numbness — is common after Kybella injections and can last 7-10 days. However, these minor side effects are not typically severe enough to stop patients from returning to work, school, or leisure activities directly after their Kybella sessions. The more Kybella treatments the patient undergoes, the less dramatic the swelling is.
