Kybella
Put your best chin forward with the Kybella double chin treatment.
Kybella double chin treatment is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to destroys fat cells under the chin to improve your profile and remove a double chin – whether you have a moderate amount of chin fullness or a bit more. Instead of using fat removal procedures like liposuction, Dr. Lovitt and her staff can expertly inject the treatment solution into the fat, and melt it away over time.
The active ingredient in Kybella® is deoxycholic acid, which is naturally present in the human body and plays an important role in managing fats. However, when used in Kybella, this acid works to safely break down the membranes of fat cells. As the fat cells are destroyed, the body’s natural processes remove them from the treatment area. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat any longer.
Audace Medical Spa has created a power-duo to treat a sagging jawline, (or double chin), and the lines that start to form across the neck with age and weight gain. This power-duo is a combination of Kybella injections for lift and Pellevé radio frequency for skin tightening!
Pellevé radio frequency treatment delivers gradual energy to the skin, causing heat to build up where the skin and fat layer come together. The increasing heat modifies the collagen bundles deep inside the skin. Using a handheld device, we deliver gradual energy to your neck, heating the deeper layers of your skin. The heat causes the collagen in your skin to contract and tighten, which encourages the growth of new collagen. You’ll feel a deep warming sensation as the Pellevé hand piece touches your neck.
This power-duo treatment helps contours your chin and jawline and tighten the neck giving you a more youthful look!
Oh, what a pair!
Q~ What is submental fullness?
A~ Submental fullness is a gathering of excess fat beneath the chin, commonly known as “double chin.” It can be something you’ve had your whole life due to genetics, or start to appear as you get older or if you gain weight.
Q~ What is Kybella?
A~ KYBELLA® is a prescription medicine and is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called “double chin.”
It is not known if KYBELLA® is safe and effective for use outside of the submental area or in children less than 18 years of age.
Q~ How many treatments will I need?
A~ Our staff will create a tailored treatment plan based on your chin profile. At each treatment, you will be given multiple small injections under your chin. You may receive up to 6 treatment sessions, spaced at least 1 month apart. Many patients experience visible results in 2 to 4 KYBELLA® treatments. 59% of patients received 6 treatments in clinical studies.
Q~ What are the possible side effects?
A~ KYBELLA® can cause serious side effects, including trouble swallowing and nerve injury in the jaw that can temporarily cause an uneven smile or facial muscle weakness. In clinical studies, nerve injury in the jaw resolved on its own in a median of 44 days (range of 1 to 298 days), and trouble swallowing resolved on its own in a median of 3 days (range of 1 to 81 days).
The most common side effects are swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness and areas of hardness around the treatment area. These are not all of the possible side effects of KYBELLA®.
Q~ How long will the results last?
A~ When injected into fat under the chin, KYBELLA® causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat. After reaching your desired aesthetic, further treatment is not expected.
