Kybella® in Portland & Lake Oswego
We understand how a double chin can affect your self-confidence and appearance. That’s why we offer Kybella®, the first FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to target and permanently reduce submental fat (the fat beneath the chin). This non-surgical solution is a game-changer for those looking to contour and define their jawline without the need for invasive procedures or surgery.
What is Kybella®?
Kybella® is a non-surgical treatment that uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, to break down and permanently destroy fat cells beneath the chin. When injected into the submental area, Kybella targets and eliminates stubborn fat, resulting in a more defined, sculpted jawline. Over time, your body naturally processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells, leaving you with a slimmer, more youthful profile.
How Does Kybella® Work?
Kybella® works by using deoxycholic acid to disrupt and destroy fat cells in the treatment area. After a few sessions, the fat cells are metabolized and naturally eliminated by the body, leaving behind a smoother, more contoured chin and neck area. Here’s how it works:
- Consultation: During your initial consultation, our provider will assess the amount of submental fat and discuss your goals for treatment.
- Treatment: Kybella® is injected directly into the submental fat using a series of small, targeted injections. The treatment is quick, typically taking 15-20 minutes.
- Results: Over the next few weeks, the body naturally breaks down and eliminates the fat cells, revealing a more defined jawline. Most patients notice results after 2-4 treatments, spaced about a month apart.
What to Expect
Kybella treatments typically take around 15-20 minutes per session. You may experience some swelling, redness, or discomfort in the treated area immediately after the procedure, but these side effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days. Most patients require 2-4 treatments, depending on the amount of fat present, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart.
