Kybella IN NAGS HEAD, NC
Kybella is an injectable that has been approved by the FDA to enhance the look of double chins by eliminating fat cells. Kybella is a man-made replica of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps in the absorption of fat. Using Kybella is a quick and minimally invasive process that permanently removes fat and requires minimal downtime.
Kybella is a treatment that eliminates fat-storing cells by destroying their membranes. This prevents the cells from storing any further fat. After the cells are destroyed, the body’s natural healing and elimination processes take over. Typically, within 4 to 6 weeks after the injection, the area will see a significant reduction in fat deposits.
If you’ve gained weight after receiving Kybella injectables, you don’t need to worry about your fatty areas returning. However, before getting Kybella injections, it’s best to consult with Dr. Glover or Dr. Smith to determine if you’re a suitable candidate. Keep in mind that Kybella can only be administered to adults who are 18 years or older and who are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
