Defined Lines

Latham, NY Kybella at Luminescence Medical

A defined neck and chin convey youth and elegance. As we age, many of us develop fat under the chin, also called the submental area. A “double chin” can cause you to look less youthful, athletic, and sculpted. Kybella targets fat under the chin in a simple injectable procedure.

At our office in Latham Kybella can help our patients experience a more youthful neck and chin line. Our highly skilled and caring providers at Luminescence Medical of Latham, NY, are here to offer you the most effective treatments in a safe, relaxing, and rejuvenating environment.

Lower-Face Love

What is Kybella?

Kybella is an injectable treatment containing deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that breaks down and absorbs fat. It’s used to reduce submental fat, also known as a "double chin." When injected beneath the chin, Kybella breaks down fat cells so that they can be eliminated by the body's natural metabolic processes. The treatment typically involves a series of injections spaced a few weeks apart for best results. Kybella is an excellent and highly effective non-surgical alternative to liposuction.

Snatched & Sculpted

What are the benefits of Kybella?

The minimally invasive injection procedure can be performed during a brief office visit. Kybella is highly effective at reducing submental fat without the need for surgery or downtime. The destroyed fat cells are gone for good, and most people see significant improvement in their chin profile after just a few treatments. Additionally, the Kybella treatment lets your provider target specific areas of submental fat to customize the procedure for you. The results are noticeable and impressive.

Simply Slender

Your Kybella Procedure

During your treatment with Kybella Latham aesthetic providers at Luminescence Medical Spa make a series of injections of the medication into the submental fat beneath the chin. For your comfort, they can apply a numbing cream to the area beforehand. The number of injections required will depend on the size and distribution of the submental fat and your desired results. Most procedures take about fifteen minutes to perform. When the injections are complete, you can apply an ice pack to the area to help minimize post-procedure swelling and discomfort.

Kybella Results

Kybella can provide significant improvement in the appearance of submental fat, giving you a smoother and more contoured chin and neck area. Most people see visible results after two to four treatment sessions, but it may take up to twelve weeks to see your full results. Destroyed fat cells cannot regenerate, making Kybella a long-lasting solution. However, it is possible for new fat to accumulate. Maintaining a stable weight will help you keep your beautifully sculpted neck and chin.

Less Downtime. More Fun.

Kybella Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery after a Kybella treatment is generally mild, with most people resuming normal activities right away. You may experience mild post-procedure swelling, redness, or bruising, which will subside within a few days. We will provide clear aftercare instructions to ensure an optimal recovery and will check your progress at follow-up sessions. Most people benefit from having a series of two to four Kybella sessions spaced several weeks apart.
