Are you aware that over 40% of Americans are classified as obese?
The obesity pandemic is not only bad for physical health but also mental health. The good news is that there are nonsurgical procedures out there that can help you reduce fat and feel much more confident in your body. KYBELLA is one of the most popular treatments in this category.
Have you ever asked yourself, “What is KYBELLA?” Keep reading to learn all about it and how it can help you reach your aesthetic goals.
What Is KYBELLA?
Put simply, KYBELLA is a type of non-surgical procedure that involves injections that can reduce fat beneath the chin, as well as other parts of the face and body, in general. It accomplishes this amazing feat by using the main ingredient of deoxycholic acid. Since it’s injectable, you don’t have to worry about incisions or long recovery periods.
The good news is that KYBELLA is the only injectable of its kind that’s been approved by the FDA.
KYBELLA is recommended for people who are at least 18 years of age. The fatty areas you can target don’t have to be severe, either. As long as they’re moderate or above, then you’d be an ideal candidate for The Cosmetic Rejuvenation Center’s KYBELLA treatment.
Keep in mind that KYBELLA is not recommended for people who plan on having facial surgery or who have had it in the past. People who are pregnant, nursing, or have swallowing troubles are also not ideal candidates. KYBELLA can’t be administered to candidates who have medical conditions or infections that are localized in the injection areas.
How Does It Work?
As mentioned, KYBELLA contains deoxycholic acid. If you’ve never heard of it, don’t worry because this is something that the body produces naturally. In fact, it’s the exact type of bile acid your body uses to get rid of fat as needed.
Of course, the body isn’t always the best judge of what’s needed aesthetically. With this in mind, KYBELLA’s synthetic version of the acid is ideal for reducing fat cells. It does this by destroying them and preventing the future storage of fat.
It’s possible for KYBELLA to destroy other cells during the procedure, which is why it’s so crucial to have an expert from The Cosmetic Rejuvenation Center inject the synthetic deoxycholic acid on your behalf.
How Is the Procedure Done?
Are you wondering what the procedure will be like?
The first step to any procedure like this is a consultation. This is where you can ask as many questions about the treatment as you’d like. The professionals will also ask you some questions about your medical history and other relevant topics so they can determine if you’re a qualified candidate for the procedure.
Once the consultation is over, you can schedule the KYBELLA procedure at the nearest available time. You can expect the expert to use a nonpermanent marker to identify the injection sites. You’ll also have the option of receiving an ice pack or numbing cream so that you will have as little discomfort as possible.
If your aim is to reduce double chins, then you can expect around 20 to 50 injections beneath your chin during the first treatment. In the coming weeks, the acid will do its job and destroy the fat cells as your body metabolizes naturally.
Whether you’ll need more than one session or not will depend on your unique situation. It’s not unheard of for people to need as many as 6 treatments before reaching the desired results. Rather than receiving them back to back, you can expect to wait at least a month between each session.
The good news is that once you stop fat cells by destroying them, you shouldn’t expect to need any more sessions.
Potential Risks
Although no medical treatment is without risks, you’ll be glad to know that the risks associated with KYBELLA are minimal. After receiving the injections, it’s possible you might experience some pain, bruising, redness, swelling, and numbness in the injection area. These minor side effects shouldn’t last for longer than a couple of weeks.
If they get worse or don’t go away after that amount of time, then you should consult with a medical professional so they can determine a solution to the issue.
More serious but rarer risks include an askew smile, difficulty with swallowing, damage to jaw nerves, and weakness in the facial muscles. Instead of waiting for these serious side effects to pass, it’s important to contact your doctor as soon as you notice them.
Part of the consultation process before the procedure is to determine whether or not these facial injection risks are greater for you. That way, you can have much more peace of mind about the procedure ahead of time.
How Much Is It?
Now that you’ve learned what you can gain from a KYBELLA treatment at The Cosmetic Rejuvenation center, you might be wondering what this wonderful procedure will cost you. The specific price will vary from case to case and can change based on the number of injections, sessions, what your medical coverage is, and more.
A general ballpark estimate is around $1,200 to $1,800. If this is a bit over your budget, then don’t be afraid to ask your treatment provider for a potential finance plan. That way, you can get the treatment you need now but pay it back over time.
