Kybella
in Palo Alto

Kybella’s active ingredient, synthetic deoxycholic acid, disrupts the cell membrane of targeted fat cells beneath the chin. This process leads to fat cell breakdown. The body then naturally metabolizes and eliminates these cells. As a result, the treated area becomes slimmer and more contoured over time, leading to a refined jawline appearance.

During a session of Kybella in Palo Alto, you’ll receive a series of small injections beneath your chin. Depending on the volume of submental fat cells, you may receive up to 50 injections per session. The procedure is relatively quick and straightforward, often lasting around 15-20 minutes. Multiple sessions might be recommended for optimal results.

You might experience mild discomfort during Kybella treatment, but any discomfort is usually temporary. Local anesthesia and ice can reduce pain and discomfort.

Common side effects of Kybella include temporary swelling, bruising, and mild pain at the injection site. These effects typically subside within a week or two. It’s important to communicate your medical history with our experts to ensure a safe experience.

Kybella treatment usually involves minimal downtime. Most individuals can resume their daily activities shortly after the session, but strenuous workouts should be avoided for a day or two.

You can start noticing the results of Kybella in Palo Alto within a few weeks after the first session. As your body metabolizes the treated fat, your chin area gradually becomes more defined and contoured.

For optimal results, you might need up to six sessions spaced a month apart. Our cosmetic experts will customize a treatment plan according to your needs and goals.

Kybella results are long-lasting, as the treated fat cells are permanently destroyed. However, you must maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent the existing fat cells from expanding.
