Kybella Consultation
At Liv Aesthetics, we ensure your safety and satisfaction by conducting a thorough pre-treatment consultation where we review your medical history, previous cosmetic procedures and assess your skin structure and presence of submental fat in the treatment area. This process confirms that you are a suitable candidate, and that your goals align with the anticipated results.
If Kybella is right for you, we will review the entire process and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs that includes cost. Kybella has been shown to deliver optimal results over a series of six injection sessions, we will take photos at your consultation for a starting baseline and at intervals along the way for a visual record we can refer to track your results.
What to Expect During Your Kybella Treatment Session
On the day of your Kybella injection session, you will be welcomed into our comfortable treatment room. The actual procedure is relatively quick, typically taking about 15 to 20 minutes. Here is a step-by-step overview of what happens during the treatment:
Preparation- Your practitioner will cleanse the treatment area to ensure it is free of any impurities. A topical anesthetic or ice pack may be applied to minimize any discomfort during the injections.
Marking the Area- Using a grid pattern, your practitioner will mark the injection sites under your chin. This ensures precise and even distribution of the Kybella solution.
Injections- Kybella is administered through a series of small injections. The number of injections depends on the amount of fat and the desired results. Most patients receive between 20 to 50 injections per session.
Completion- Once the injections are complete, you will be given post-treatment instructions to help manage any side effects and ensure optimal results.
Kybella Recovery and Results
After your Kybella injection session, it is normal to experience some swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness in the treated area. These side effects are typically mild and subside within a few days. Following the post-treatment care tips below will aid in your recovery:
- Apply Ice- Use an ice pack to reduce swelling and discomfort.
- Avoid Strenuous Activities- Refrain from intense physical activities for at least 24 to 48 hours after the treatment.
- Stay Hydrated- Drink plenty of water to help your body heal and flush out the dissolved fat cells.
Kybella works by breaking down fat cells, which your body naturally eliminates over time. You may start to see noticeable results after two to four treatment sessions, spaced about a month apart. The full effect is typically visible after the final session, with most patients achieving their desired outcome after six sessions.
Once the fat cells are destroyed, they do not regenerate, meaning your results can be long-lasting as long as you maintain a stable weight. Follow-up appointments allow us to track your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
