When observing the beauty of a face, we don’t stop by taking in the eyes, nose, cheeks, and mouth. The eye also sees the area around the face, including the jawline and upper neck. It is in this area where submental fullness may occur. The appearance of a double chin may be a sign of aging but isn’t always. Some younger adults feel that they have too much fat framing their faces and wish to do something about this concern. Historically, liposuction was the primary solution. Today, we’ve got more options. Kybella is one of them. Here we discuss some of the reasons this treatment has been selected millions of times by people around the world.
- Kybella is an FDA-approved double-chin treatment.
The FDA is particular about what it approves. Drugs must go through multiple clinical trials to prove their safety and efficacy. When the FDA approved Kybella, its base ingredient had already been used in multiple other countries for several years. Still, it was thoroughly tested to confirm its capability to achieve optimal results with minimal side effects.
- Kybella uses natural ingredients.
The active ingredient in Kybella, the one that stimulates fat-reduction, is deoxycholic acid. This is a chemical that the body makes naturally. It is produced during digestion to break apart dietary fat so it can be turned into fuel or eliminated. Kybella emerged from the understanding of what deoxycholic acid could do with dietary fat. In studies, the chemical was injected into the layer of subcutaneous fat to determine if it would break apart fat cells in a localized area. It did and has been doing so successfully for years now.
- Kybella destroys fat cells.
There are only a few ways to get rid of fat. Losing weight is not one of them. If you lose weight and sculpt your body, your fat cells will shrink but not go away. Fat removal is achieved with liposuction, but downtime is needed to recover from this procedure. Kybella is an injectable solution that dismantles fat cells, so the body flushes them away for good. In this way, Kybella could achieve permanent results provided that the patient maintains a healthy lifestyle.
