At NY Face Place, we strive to offer our clients the latest treatments, so you can get the appearance you want with as little invasive work as possible. One such treatment is for the removal of a double chin. Kybella may help you to be able to avoid a procedure such as liposuction to reduce the fat deposits under your chin and get rid of what is commonly called a “double chin.”

So how does it work? Will you need multiple treatments to get the desired results? If so, how long will the entire process take? Here is what you need to know about Kybella, the amazing injectable double chin treatment.

What Is Kybella and How Long Does It Take to Work?

Kybella has been approved by the FDA to treat double chin in a surgery-free manner since 2015. It is an injectable, so there is no incision made. That makes the procedure minimally invasive. So how does it get rid of a double chin? In short, the injected substance dissolves the fat. Therefore, the risk of complications, including infections, is very low when compared to other treatments. So how long does it take to work?

In clinical trials, the majority of patients required six treatments, each a month apart. That means the average treatment time for a patient will be six months. However, most patients agree that the non-invasive method is worth it. For example, here are some advantages of Kybella over surgical procedures for double chin removal:

  • No general anesthesia – That means you can drive yourself to and from the appointment.

  • Rapid treatment times – It only takes about 15-20 minutes per treatment, so you are in and out of our practice fast.

  • No bandages – At most, you may experience a little bruising, swelling, or numbness under your chin. But you won’t have to walk around bandaged up, and the recovery should only take two to three days after each treatment.

Of course, to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks, you want a real professional like Dr. Alex to administer your treatment.
