There is no one age that is ideal for Kybella treatment. As long as a patient is over 18 and a good candidate, they can undergo Kybella successfully. Patients under 50 do tend to respond better because their skin is better quality and more likely to retract after the fat dissolves.
What Is the Best Age for KYBELLA? There is no specific age requirement for receiving submental fullness injections. However, the ideal candidate for this double chin treatment is someone with moderate to severe submental fullness who has not seen improvement through diet and exercise alone.
Kybella should not be used in those patients that solely have loose skin. As mentioned previously, it is an acid, so if there is no adipose tissue to dissolve, it will dissolve skin. It is imperative to assess your patients prior to treatment to ensure they are an appropriate candidate.
Jawline Contouring
Kybella can also be used to refine the jawline by targeting excess fat along the sides of the chin and jaw, which enhances facial contours. Each session, needing 1 to 2 vials, costs about $1,000 to $1,500. A complete plan often includes 2 to 3 sessions, with total costs ranging from $2,000 to $4,500.
Who cannot receive treatment with Kybella? Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have trouble swallowing or have bleeding problems or are on blood thinning medications should not be treated. You must have at least a ½ inch of fat in the area to be treated.
The gorgeous Kardashian sister has already shared that she had help from CoolSculpting during her recent slim-down, and now, after Kim questioned her on Botox and Fillers, she's sharing how Kybella has helped her sculpt a leaner silhouette, while keeping all of her natural beauty intact.
Since each treatment session of Kybella requires further injections, the full cost of Kybella encompasses all of the Kybella treatments and will occur over several months time. Each treatment of Kybella costs on average $1500. The average cost for the complete treatment with Kybella over four sessions is $6,000.
The cost of Kybella typically ranges from $1,200 to $1,800 per session, and most patients require 2-4 sessions spaced a month apart. While this can add up, the investment is worth it for those seeking a defined chin without surgery.
Is Kybella covered by insurance? As a cosmetic procedure, Kybella is generally not covered by insurance.
Lower Price Point: Generic deoxycholic acid, available from compounding pharmacies, is much more affordable than Kybella. This substantial cost savings makes treatment more accessible for patients limited by price point.
Risk of Nerve Damage: As with any medical procedure, Kybella also has potential side effects, including nerve injury, difficulty swallowing, and muscle weakness in the treated area.
Typically, a healthy diet and regular exercise can help achieve a thinner look, but sometimes problem areas like double chins can be really stubborn to slim. Perhaps that's why Vanderpump Rules beauties Brittany Cartwright, Kristen Doute, and Katie Maloney-Schwartz have all opted to try Kybella injections.
CoolSculpting is excellent for removing stubborn pockets of fat that do not respond to exercise or diet, while Kybella is effective for eliminating small or moderate pockets of fat in the treatment area. The best way to know if CoolSculpting or Kybella will work for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr.
In our youth, our skin is firm, tight, and sits snugly over our musculature and skeletal frame. Beginning in our 30s, the skin slowly begins to lose these elastic properties, meaning it sags, and fat deposits rest further away from our bones – thus creating the appearance of a double chin.
People typically need between three and six sessions to achieve their desired profile. However, you may only need one or two sessions depending on the severity of your submental fullness and its cause.
Kybella is approved for use in patients aged 18-65, and while most people in this age group turn out to be good candidates for the Kybella Facial Procedure, there are certain criteria, which must be met prior to the procedure taking place.
It didn't hurt, it just felt unusual. The feeling only lasted 15-20 minutes. It started swelling and became numb in the area of the injections immediately, but I expected that. I elevated myself that night while sleeping to help with swelling, and I was fairly swollen in the morning but not as bad as I expected.
Procedures: Kybella Double Chin Office Treatment: 2 vials per session. 3 sessions with 2 months between sessions. Total 6 vials for treatment.
If the skin on your lower face is already lax due to age, genetics, environmental, or lifestyle factors, removing excess fat could make the situation worse. That doesn't mean Kybella causes loose skin. However, it can make sagging skin more obvious by taking away its support.
Submental liposuction is ideal for those seeking immediate and dramatic results through a one-time procedure and don't mind spending a couple of weeks in recovery, while Kybella is better suited for people who prefer a non-surgical option with gradual changes that won't impact their day-to-day life too much.
However, Kybella is not a weight loss treatment and should not be viewed as such. Although it does effectively destroy fat, Kybella is not approved for use in any other areas besides under the chin. As such, Kybella does not cause significant weight loss.
