Kybella is a revolutionary treatment that has been gaining traction in the world of aesthetics for its ability to tackle stubborn fat around the chin and jawline. As demand for the perfect profile and a more chiseled jawline continues to grow, many have been wondering how long the results of Kybella last.
In this article, we will explore the ins and outs of Kybella, from how it works to the longevity of its results. Whether you’re considering the treatment or are simply curious about its efficacy, join us as we delve into the details behind this popular aesthetic solution.
Kybella is a nonsurgical injectable treatment used to target the fat beneath the chin, known as submental fat. The active ingredient in Kybella is synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule that naturally occurs in the body and facilitates the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
When injected into fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys the fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in chin fullness. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat.
Results from Kybella generally emerge four to six weeks after your treatment. Most patients require multiple treatment sessions to achieve their desired results.
It’s important to schedule a personalized consultation with a Kybella provider to understand the expected timeline for your results.
The durability of Kybella results varies among individuals, but as long as you undergo the appropriate number of treatment sessions, you can expect your results to last for a lifetime. Kybella results last for so long because the body can’t create new fat cells past the age of 25, and the synthetic deoxycholic acid in the injectable destroys a significant percentage of the fat cells in the targeted areas.
Factors that can affect the longevity of Kybella results include genetics, metabolism, and lifestyle habits such as diet and exercise. People with a faster metabolism may experience quicker breakdown of fat cells treated by Kybella, leading to more fleeting results. Additionally, those with a genetic predisposition to store fat in the treated area may see a recurrence of submental fullness over time.
Adhering to a healthy lifestyle is critical to extending the longevity of your Kybella results. Maintaining a stable weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise can prevent the re-accumulation of fat beneath the chin. Moreover, staying hydrated helps maintain skin elasticity.
The appropriate number of Kybella treatments can vary significantly from person to person depending on the amount of submental fullness being treated and the individual’s desired results. Typically, providers recommend three to six treatments, with each session spaced at least a month apart.
However, some individuals may require up to six treatments to achieve their aesthetic goals. As with any cosmetic procedure, it’s essential to consult a qualified professional to determine the optimal treatment plan for you.
