Body sculpting can change the contours of your body to give you a sleeker, more attractive shape.
Also known as body contouring, body sculpting is an umbrella term that covers a wide range of medical procedures that shrink areas of stubborn body fat and reshape your body to give it a slimmer appearance. A number of body sculpting treatments are now available – all without invasive surgery or overnight stays in hospitals!
Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment to destroy the fat cells under your chin, also known as submental fullness. Fat cells here can ruin your profile by giving you a “double chin,” which can make you feel older or heavier than you really are. This excess fat around your neck can even sag to create an unattractive wrinkle across your throat.
The fat cells that create submental fullness are tough to get rid of, even when you eat right and exercise regularly. Until just a few years ago, liposuction was the only way to get rid of submental fullness. While liposuction was effective, it is an invasive surgery done with anesthesia – this means it requires a recovery period and carries a risk of serious side effects.
Kybella is injectable, which means it is non-invasive: your skin health specialist delivers the fat-burning treatment into your skin with a fine needle. Kybella contains a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, which is a molecule that occurs naturally in your body. Deoxycholic acid destroys the fat cells, which prevents the cells from storing or accumulating fat. Depending on your goals, you may need up to six treatments, given about one month apart. Once you reach your desired aesthetic goal, you can stop treatment. There is no downtime associated with Kybella; you can return to your normal activities right away.
Swelling, pain, numbness, redness, and areas of hardness may occur in the treatment area. Other side effects may occur.
