Southwest Florida's Health and Wellness Magazine Health and Wellness Articles
In the spirit of this holiday season, we joyfully celebrate with family and friends, attend holiday parties, special events and shop till we drop, but alongside of all of the “Fa La La” often comes a bit of stress, overindulgence and rushing from here to there.
This fast-paced time of year can wreak havoc on our skin from dehydration, a poor diet, lack of sleep, and anxiety. Along with those issues, many of us might be noticing a little more submental fullness in our faces. Is it the overindulgence, or is it aging? If you’re growing tired of the “double chin” that’s formed, there is an FDA-approved treatment that’s easy, efficient and highly effective.
Sweet Spot Medispa in Fort Myers, Florida, is a medically supervised aesthetic practice in the Epic Salon & Suites complex that offers an extensive range of fat-reduction treatments, including injection lipolysis using KYBELLA®. KYBELLA® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells in the treatment area under the chin to improve your profile.
What is injection lipolysis?
Injection lipolysis uses the chemical deoxycholic acid to disrupt and kill fat cells in the treatment area. KYBELLA® has FDA approval for this purpose and is an effective alternative to surgery.
Your practitioner marks a grid pattern on the skin under your chin and numbs your skin with a local anesthetic. They then inject the KYBELLA® into the grid to ensure even distribution. After the procedure, you may experience some:
• Swelling
• Bruising
• Mild pain
• Redness
You may also feel some hard spots under your skin, but these diminish quite quickly.
When will I see the results of my fat-reduction treatment?
After your injection lipolysis session, it takes 6-8 weeks for most patients to see a visible reduction in their double chin. Typically, patients need a second treatment 4-6 weeks after the first, and some patients need as many as six treatments in total.
At first, your double chin is likely to look worse because of the inflammation, but once this subsides and your body disposes of the dead fat cells, you’ll see the final results. Unless you gain a significant amount of weight, the results of KYBELLA® treatment are permanent.
