Kybella

Offered at our convenient location in Houston, TX

Kybella Houston. TX

A youthful, defined chin and jawline are part of classic facial beauty. Sadly, as you age, the jawline loses its definition, with fatty deposits developing beneath the chin. In Houston Kybella is a revolutionary non-surgical injectable treatment that can restore a jawline definition by melting away fat deposits below the chin.

Procedure

There was a time when the only treatment available for jowls and a double chin was a lower facelift or liposuction, both of which required downtime to recover.

While a facelift is often appropriate for those with extreme skin laxity, Kybella is a groundbreaking treatment for submental fullness or a double chin. Kybella is the first injectable treatment of its kind, designed to treat submental fullness and restore the elegant contours of the lower face.

The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid.

Deoxycholic acid occurs naturally, used by the body to metabolize fat. When injected into the chin area, Kybella destroys the outer membrane of fat cells, leaving the remaining fluid vulnerable. Your body then naturally absorbs the cells through its natural processes. As the fat is absorbed, the double chin will slowly begin to disappear. Once the fat cells in the area are destroyed by Kybella, they do not return, and the results following treatment are long-lasting.

Benefits

Kybella offers effective treatment for submental fullness without the need for surgery or liposuction. Treatment with Kybella has many benefits, including:

  • Non-invasive
  • No downtime
  • No surgery required
  • Long-lasting results
  • Restores jawline definition
  • Restores self-confidence

Ideal Candidate

Kybella is ideal for people who want to reduce chin fat non-surgically. Pregnant or breastfeeding women will have to wait to have Kybella. In addition, if you have an active skin infection, bleeding disorders, certain cancers, or known allergies to the ingredients in Kybella, you may not be a good candidate for submental fat reduction. Your Houston Med Spa provider at TCPS can let you know if Kybella is right for you at your consultation.

Expectations

Treatment with Kybella is fast and easy, similar to treatment with other cosmetic injectables.

We can administer an anesthetic to ensure your comfort during treatment if you so desire. Then, we will administer between 20 and 30 small injections of Kybella in a grid pattern in the fatty zone.

The entire process is completed in less than 30 minutes, while you relax in our luxurious Houston facilities. Multiple treatment sessions may be needed to achieve optimal results. A series of four to six sessions may be required, performed at one-month intervals.
