How Does Kybella Work?

Kybella targets and destroys fat cells beneath the chin. Once these cells are destroyed, they cannot store or accumulate fat again, providing a long-lasting reduction in submental fat. The treatment involves a series of small injections that dissolve the fat over time, resulting in a slimmer and more defined appearance.

Benefits of Kybella

  • Non-Surgical Solution:

    Achieve a contoured jawline without surgery.

  • Permanent Results:

    Once destroyed, fat cells do not return.

  • Quick and Convenient:

    Brief treatment sessions with minimal downtime.

Areas Treated with Kybella

While Kybella primarily targets submental fat, it can also be used off-label for other areas with small pockets of unwanted fat, such as:

The Treatment Process

  • Consultation:

    During your initial consultation at Nuceria Health, our experts will assess your needs and develop a customized treatment plan.

  • Procedure:

    The Kybella treatment involves a series of small injections under the chin, typically taking about 15-20 minutes. The number of injections and sessions depends on your needs and desired results.

  • Post-Treatment Care:

    You may experience swelling, bruising, or numbness in the treated area, which generally subsides within a few days.

Pre-Treatment Instructions

  • Avoid Blood Thinners:

    Refrain from taking aspirin, NSAIDs, and other blood thinners for at least one week before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.

  • No Alcohol:

    Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your treatment to minimize swelling and bruising.

  • Stay Hydrated:

    Drink plenty of water before your appointment to keep your skin hydrated and healthy.

  • Inform Your Doctor:

    Tell your provider about any medical conditions, allergies, or medications you take.

Post-Treatment Instructions

  • Manage Swelling:

    Apply an ice pack to the treated area for 10-15 minutes every hour as needed for the first 24 hours.

  • Avoid Touching:

    Refrain from touching, massaging, or manipulating the treated area for at least three days post-treatment.

  • Elevate Your Head:

    Sleep elevated for the first few nights to help reduce swelling.

  • Stay Hydrated:

    Drink plenty of water to help your body heal.

  • Pain Management:

    You may take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen to manage discomfort. Avoid NSAIDs as they can increase bruising.

  • Follow-Up Appointments:

    Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and receive additional treatments if necessary.
