What to Expect at Your KYBELLA Appointment
During each session, your dermatology provider will administer a series of injections beneath the chin. The number of injections is determined by the amount of fat present and your desired profile outcome.
KYBELLA gradually reduces fat over subsequent weeks, leading to a more defined jawline. Most patients can resume their regular activities shortly after the appointment, making it a convenient and efficient non-surgical solution for enhancing your profile.
KYBELLA Maintenance Recommendations
After your treatment, it is essential to follow any specific post-procedural instructions provided by your dermatology provider. This may include avoiding strenuous activities, applying ice to reduce swelling, and refraining from excessive sun exposure.
- Follow-Up Assessments: Schedule regular follow-up appointments with your dermatology provider to assess the results and determine if additional treatments are needed.
- Healthy Lifestyle: Adopting a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet can contribute to overall well-being and help maintain the improved profile achieved with KYBELLA.
- Sun Protection: Protecting your skin from the sun is crucial. Regularly apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to the treated area, especially if you'll be exposed to sunlight for an extended period.
- Maintain Weight Stability: While KYBELLA destroys fat cells, maintaining a stable weight helps ensure lasting results. Significant weight fluctuations can impact the treated area.
- Communication with Provider: If you notice any changes or have specific concerns, communicate with your dermatology provider promptly. They can provide guidance and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
KYBELLA Maintenance Schedule
- Complete the initial series of KYBELLA treatments as recommended by your dermatology provider.
- You can undergo a maximum of six treatment sessions, each scheduled at least one month apart. Visible results are often noticed by many patients after completing 2 to 4 KYBELLA treatments.
- Schedule maintenance appointments at intervals ranging from six months to a year.
- Attend regular follow-up assessments to evaluate sustained results and make adjustments to the treatment plan if necessary.
KYBELLA® FAQs
KYBELLA® contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. It is injected into the fat beneath the skin and destroys fat cells. Over time, this leads to a more contoured profile.
The number of sessions varies, but most individuals undergo a series of two to six treatments, typically spaced about a month apart. The exact number is determined based on individual factors and desired results.
Yes, KYBELLA® provides permanent results. Once fat cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat. However, maintaining a stable weight is essential for long-term success.
Results are not immediate and develop gradually over several weeks as the body processes and eliminates the targeted fat cells. Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal outcomes.
