Kybella, or Lipodissolve, is a nonsurgical injectable treatment used to treat areas with unwanted or stubborn fat. People often choose this treatment because it has a lower recovery time than surgery and therefore fewer risks. This treatment is also an option for people who aren't good candidates for facial plastic surgeries like liposuction or a neck lift.
The most common area that we treat with Kybella/ Lipodissolve is under neath the jaw to reduce the appearance of "double chin". With that being said, this treatment can be used all over the body to aid in fat reduction. Other areas include:
This treatment is ideal for those who have a moderate amount of unwanted fat, particularly those who have struggled to get rid of this fat with traditional means.
The best candidates are those who would prefer to use a non-surgical treatment to reduce fat, especially if they are not qualified or interested in cosmetic surgeries such as liposuction.
Your injector will begin by consulting with you to determine the primary area of concern and best treatment options before starting your procedure. We’ll review your medical history to ensure you are a candidate for Kybella/ Lipodissolve. In order to track the progress of the targeted area, we’ll take photos of the area of treatment. You will be numbed with a topical numbing cream, which will take full affect in roughly 10-15 minutes after application. Your expert injector will then clean the treatment area, and begin the injections. The procedure takes only a few minutes to complete. The number of treatments needed for optimal results varies. On average, patients require 3 treatments total, however some only need one treatment while others might need up to six treatments. Each session is spaced 4-6 weeks apart to ensure proper healing. Due to the swelling that accompanies this procedure, we recommend not getting this procedure done close to any important events.
