Kybella Treatment at Chanel Frances & Co: Eliminate Your Double Chin

Kybella at Chanel Frances & Co

Kybella is a non-surgical, FDA-approved solution for reducing submental fat, commonly known as the double chin. At Chanel Frances & Co, our experienced medical aesthetic professional, Jennifer Cooper R.N., administers Kybella treatments to help clients achieve a more defined jawline without surgery.

What Is Kybella?

Kybella is an injectable treatment specifically designed to destroy fat cells under the chin, effectively reducing the appearance of a double chin. It is formulated with synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. Kybella is the only FDA-approved treatment of its kind, offering a non-surgical alternative to liposuction or other invasive procedures for submental fat reduction.

How Kybella Works

The active ingredient in Kybella, synthetic deoxycholic acid, mimics the body’s natural deoxycholic acid, which aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When Kybella is injected into the submental fat beneath the chin, it targets and destroys the fat cells in that area. As these cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Over time, the body naturally processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells, further enhancing the treatment’s results.

Candidates for Kybella

Kybella may be the right choice for you if you are bothered by the appearance of a double chin, feel that it makes you look older or heavier than you are, and prefer a non-surgical solution. Before starting treatment, Jennifer Cooper R.N. at Chanel Frances & Co will examine your chin and neck area to determine if Kybella is the best option for you.

Kybella Treatment Process at Chanel Frances & Co

The Kybella treatment process at Chanel Frances & Co is tailored to each individual’s needs. The number of injections and treatment sessions required depends on the size of the treatment area. Jennifer Cooper R.N. will administer multiple small injections under your chin during each treatment session, which usually lasts 15 to 20 minutes.

Results and Expectations

The results from Kybella treatments at Chanel Frances & Co can be quite impressive, with a significant reduction in the appearance of a double chin. Most clients require multiple sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve the desired outcome. The number of sessions required will be determined by Jennifer Cooper R.N. based on your individual needs and goals.

It is important to remember that results may vary from person to person, and multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired outcome. As the body gradually eliminates the destroyed fat cells, the full effects of the treatment may take several weeks to become apparent. Once your desired aesthetic goal is achieved, further treatment is not expected, as the fat cells have been permanently destroyed.

Side Effects and Safety Information

While Kybella is a safe and effective treatment for many individuals, some clients may experience side effects after the procedure. Common side effects include redness, swelling, and discomfort in the treatment area. These side effects typically subside within 3 to 7 days. In some cases, clients may also experience numbness or areas of hardness in the treated area, which should resolve over time.

Less common but more serious side effects may include nerve injury in the jaw, which can cause an uneven smile or facial muscle weakness, and trouble swallowing. It is crucial to discuss your medical history and any medications you are taking with Jennifer Cooper R.N. before starting treatment to ensure your safety. She will also provide detailed post-treatment care instructions to minimize the risk of complications and promote a smooth recovery.

If you experience any severe or persistent side effects after your Kybella treatment, it is essential to contact Jennifer Cooper R.N. or another healthcare professional immediately
