KYBELLA AT WELLSPRING

Kybella is the only FDA-approved prescription fat dissolver and is specifically designed for the removal of fat below the chin. The active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, which is naturally occurring in the body and helps breakdown and absorb dietary fat. When injected in fat, the cells are destroyed and can no longer store and accumulate fat.

Kybella is only FDA-approved for injection into fat below the chin, but is often used off label in various other locations including upper back, armpit, hips and butt.

What is Kybella and how does it work?

Kybella is a no incision, cosmetic treatment to eliminate fat under the chin through a series of injections. Allergan, the same company that makes Botox, manufactures the product.

The active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, which is naturally occurring in the body. This ingredient helps breakdown and absorb dietary fat. Injecting into fat destroys cells, prevents them from storing more fat, resulting in permanent results.

What does it treat?

Kybella treats double chin. We also use Kybella off label to remove excess fat anywhere on the body. The most common treatment locations are for:

Back fat
Arm pit fat
Butt fat
Love handles
Jowls

What is the treatment process like?

Prior to your appointment, it is important to have a thorough consultation to ensure that you are a candidate for therapy. Tell your provider if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, have trouble swallowing, or have bleeding issues. Make sure to schedule your treatment well before any events. Avoid Ibuprofen, aspirin or blood thinners prior to your appointment.

During your treatment appointment, we begin with custom mapping of injection sites based on your profile and unique anatomy. We will also make a decision regarding dose and injections sites.

We use topical numbing and ice to minimize discomfort. The actual procedure is a series of injections to the chin and neck area, that take a few minutes. The medication causes a burning sensation after injection but this discomfort decreases over 10-30 minutes.

How many treatment sessions will I need?

Each patient has a different chin profile, amount of fat and treatment goals, therefore the number of treatments will vary. Treatments are 4-6 weeks apart, with no more than six treatments recommended.

Typical sessions require 2 vials of Kybella, however there are certain areas that only require 1 vial. If you're worried about downtime or have had swelling in the past, we can try lowering the dose to 1 vial.

When will I see results?

You can expect to start seeing results after a few weeks as your body reabsorbs the fat cells. Results will continue to improve several months to a year after a treatment. Results are permanent however re-treatment may be necessary if you have weight gain.

Will my injections tighten the skin?

The injections only target the actual fat cells, so it does not affect the surrounding skin. Before getting injections, the consultation process checks your skin's elasticity and health to avoid loose skin. The gradual results will also help the skin retract slowly, over time.

What are the most common side effects?

The most common side effects of Kybella include swelling, bruising, redness, itching, numbness, nodules and burning. These side effects are usually self limited a resolve in as little as 30 minutes up to 2-4 weeks. Rare side effects include difficulty swallowing.

Overall, Kybella is a great treatment to dissolve unwanted fat. This leads to a more defined jawline and slimmer appearance. The procedure requires no incisions and is minimally invasive. A series of treatments is needed
