Kybella: The Non-Surgical Solution for Double Chin Reduction at Radiance Skincare & Laser Medspa

Radiance Skincare & Laser Medspa in Wheaton, IL, is pleased to offer Kybella, the only FDA-approved procedure that permanently reduces fat under the chin, also known as a “double chin.” Kybella provides a non-surgical solution for patients looking to improve their facial profile by eliminating stubborn fat that diet and exercise cannot address. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of Kybella, how the procedure works, and why it’s a great option for those looking for a sleeker, more defined jawline.

How the Kybella Procedure Works?

Kybella is composed of deoxycholic acid, which aids in breaking down and absorbing fat in the body. Kybella destroys fat cells beneath the chin, preventing them from storing fat in the future.

An injection under the chin is used in the treatment. Most patients require 2-4 treatment sessions about 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. Each session lasts around 15-20 minutes, and since the fat cells are permanently destroyed, further treatment is usually unnecessary after the desired results are achieved.

Before And After Care For Kybella

To ensure the best possible results from Kybella, it’s essential to follow proper pre- and post-care instructions:

Before Treatment

- To minimize bruising, it is recommended that you refrain from taking blood thinners like aspirin, ibuprofen, or alcohol 48 hours prior to the treatment.

- Stay hydrated before your appointment and eat a light meal.

After Treatment

- Mild swelling, redness, or bruising is common after Kybella injections but usually resolves within a few days.

- Reduce swelling by applying cold compresses.

- During the first 24 to 48 hours post-treatment, stay out of the sun and avoid strenuous exercise.
