Kybella®
Kybella® is an injectable treatment used to help remove submental fullness aka “double chin”. It contains a solution called deoxycholic acid, which mimics our natural body substance that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected under the chin, Kybella® effectively eliminates fat cells, which the body naturally removes over time. This treatment is not only restricted to the chin but can also be used to address small areas of fat around the body that are resistant to diet, exercise, or uneven pockets of fat after liposuction. The effects can be permanent.
Kybella® in Hoboken, NJ and Weehawken, NJ, is suitable for individuals who want to get rid of the fat under their chin or other areas and seek a non-surgical solution to achieve a more contoured neck profile and jawline. The treatment especially appeals to those who wish for long-lasting results without the downtime associated with traditional surgery. Results typically become visible after 2 to 4 sessions, scheduled 4-6 weeks apart, with optimal outcomes noticeable a few months after the final treatment. Once the desired results are achieved, the fat cells are completely and permanently destroyed. For those in Weehawken NJ and Hoboken NJ looking to reduce their double chin and stubborn pockets of fat, book a consultation at 1aesthetic – Plastic Surgery, Medspa, and Wellness to discuss how Kybella® can meet your aesthetic goals.
