Call our Steamboat Springs, Colorado, office at 970-879-4703 to learn more about this treatment and how it can benefit you.
What is KYBELLA and how does it work?
KYBELLA® is a simple prescription injectable treatment designed to reduce fat cells beneath the chin. KYBELLA uses deoxycholic acid, a natural molecule produced in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat, to target and destroy fat and give you a sharper jawline and get rid of a “double chin.” KYBELLA prevents cells’ ability to store fat in the treated area, which means you will not have to return for treatment in the future.
What is the process for KYBELLA like?
Our dentist will examine the area under and around your chin and discuss your appearance goals before proving treatment. We will begin KYBELLA injections once you are determined a good candidate and a treatment plan has been created. You will undergo between two to four sessions that will last about 20 minutes each. The number of injections received at each session will depend on your treatment plan, amount of fat to be removed and desired goals. Patients can expect to see visible results after about four to eight weeks.
What is the recovery like?
After KYBELLA treatment, you may experience some numbness, swelling or bruising under your chin. These side effects should only be temporary and go away completely after 48 hours.
Contact our office today to schedule an appointment and learn more about KYBELLA and how it can benefit you and your appearance.
