KYBELLA® in Wayne, PA

Even a small amount of extra fat in the upper throat area may create the appearance of a "double chin" that can be bothersome to many people. The excess pockets of fat beneath the chin (or the submental area) can be caused by weight fluctuations, aging, or genetics that lead to a weaker jawline for a less defined profile. The team at Everest Medspa in Wayne and Havertown, PA is pleased to provide KYBELLA injections to reduce unwanted neck fat. Approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), KYBELLA is the first nonsurgical treatment for upper neck fat. The active ingredient in KYBELLA is a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid that acts like the body's natural DA to break down and absorb fat cells, so you can enjoy your new, slim neck and defined jawline for years to come.

KYBELLA is performed during an appointment in one of our treatment rooms at Everest Medspa. The procedure takes about 15 – 20 minutes, which includes multiple small injections targeting the submental area. Patients may need one treatment to reach their desired look, while some may need several injections spaced three weeks apart. You can leave our office as soon as you are comfortable to resume your usual activities. You may have temporary numbness, bruising, or swelling beneath your chin; however, this should not last more than a few days. While the fat cells do not return, weight gain may affect your results, so you should keep a steady weight after your KYBELLA injections to prevent new pockets of fat from developing.

How much does KYBELLA cost?
The price of KYBELLA will depend on the number of sessions you need. In your consultation, a customized KYBELLA treatment plan will be created to work with your budget and goals. A team member can also review the types of payment we accept in your consultation.

How does KYBELLA work?
Deoxycholic acid, the active ingredient in KYBELLA, is designed to break down fat cells in the upper neck. After they are destroyed, these fat cells cannot regenerate. This is why more treatments shouldn't be needed once you have reached your desired outcome.

Can KYBELLA be used to treat other areas of the body?
Currently, KYBELLA is only available for the treatment of the area below the chin. KYBELLA can effectively reduce the appearance of a double chin. KYBELLA has not been approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for any other areas of the face or body.

Am I eligible for a KYBELLA treatment?
Before your consultation, you will answer a few questions to make sure you are a candidate for KYBELLA treatments. You must be over the age of 18 years old, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you should not have any infection in your neck. Prior to receiving treatment, you should share any health concerns and your medical history with your injector so that they can decide if you can safely receive the treatment.

How many treatment sessions will I need?
At your consultation, a customized injection plan will be developed to meet your needs and goals. Typically, patients receive between 2 – 4 KYBELLA treatments to achieve their goals. KYBELLA injections need to be spaced about one month apart. You should not get any more than six treatments.

Even though you may have inherited a genetic double chin, it's possible to enhance the appearance of your neckline. Schedule a consultation with the team at Everest Medspa to hear more about KYBELLA injectable treatments and see if this is a good option to help you get a stronger, more defined jaw.
