Kybella in La Mesa, CA
Kybella is a non-surgical treatment that targets and reduces fat cells under the chin using a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. This treatment involves multiple small injections directly into the fat beneath the chin, gradually breaking down fat cells and reducing the appearance of the double chin. In addition to the submental area, Kybella can treat other small pockets of fat, such as the bra bulge, inner thighs, and lower abdomen. Each treatment is tailored to the patient’s needs, ensuring precise targeting of unwanted fat deposits. The process begins with a consultation to determine suitability, followed by small injections in the targeted area. The disrupted fat cells are metabolized over several weeks, producing smooth and natural-looking results. Most patients require multiple sessions, typically spaced a month apart, to achieve their desired results, with the number of sessions varying based on the amount of fat and the patient’s aesthetic goals.
Kybella in La Mesa, CA, is suitable for adults with mild to moderate fat under the chin, known as submental fat. Ideal candidates are those who prefer a non-surgical approach to fat reduction. Results can usually be seen within a month after two to four treatment sessions. The results of Kybella are long-lasting as the treated fat cells are permanently destroyed. For long-term results, you should maintain a stable weight. To experience the benefits of Kybella, consider booking an appointment with Botoxie in La Mesa, CA, for a consultation
