Kybella has been designed to return your
face profile to its original bone structure. So, if you feel that your face has
been invaded by fatty cells that have reshaped your face, this is the product
for you. The natural shape of our faces changes with age due to fat cells under
the skin which sag and droop under its own weight in both genders. This is
especially prevalent under the chin resulting in what is commonly known as a
double chin (medically known as submental fullness). This additional weight
around the face can make us look older and/or unattractive, none of which we
want.
This product
uses Deoxycholic acid to disperse the fatty cells which allows the skin to
return to the jaw line. This then returns the face to a slim, younger looking you
which everybody wants. Although, the thought of acid under your skin may be
scary, it is something that naturally occurs in our bodies called ‘bile acid’. The
body produces this to extract the fatty cells from under the skin. Additionally,
Kybella was approved by the US Food and Drug Agency (FDA) in 2015, so is proven
to be safe and effective.
The
application of this product is done through 20-50 small injections under the
chin depending on the amount of fatty cells there. So, if you only have a small
amount of additional weight under the chin, fewer injections are required. Additionally,
a maximum of 6 treatments are recommended spaced in one month increments.
Again, if your double chin is minimal, then as few as three treatments would be
necessary.
When we have
a blood test, there is often some localized bruising, swelling or redness where
the injection occurred. This is the same for this treatment due to the nature
of its application; however, there is no need for concern here and this will
dissipate after a few days. Other side effects from these injections can be a
difficulty in swallowing which heals itself within 3 days. Additionally, there
is a possibility of an uneven smile for up to a month, but none of these side
effects are certain, merely precautionary information. Weighing up this minimal
effect and the overall gain of sharper features and a younger appearance, there
is little concern, simply benefits.
If you are
wondering if this can be passed on to unborn babies or new-borns through breast
milk, this has not been tested. So, it would be best not use this product if
you are at any stage of considering conception or breast feeding.
